New issue 1316 by v.villenave: Enhancement: improved << \\ >> polyphonic shortcut notation
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1316

The << \\ >> construct has its flaws, and it has been discussed how to make it more reliable. See for instance the discussion on http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2009-09/msg00094.html

Currently, most users are working around the problem by explicitly instantiating voices, but as Kieren noted "The whole problem would be solved if \\ Did The Right Thing".

Whilst this implies a lot of thinking and testing, it might be a nice improvement to consider for GLISS, Lily 3.0, or for our Saint Glinglin's Day release, as we would say in French :-)
