Polyphony

I have a problem with polyphonic notation. I tried to enter multiple voices using \new Voice { % top voice } \new Voice { % bottom voice } but the bottom voice was notated as though it were an extension of the staff instead of under the top voice. H

Doing \score { <<...>... } and \context Staff << .... >> in scheme?

Hi all, In the large vocal and orchestral piece that I'm currently typesetting, I have lots of score and staff definitions, which look exactly the same, except for the variable names. Thus it would make tremendous sense to not hard-code them, but generate them on the fly by some scheme function
