you are doing constructs of the form
{ %% !!
\new Voice = foo { .. }
\new Voice = bar { .. }
} %% end!!
The sequential marked !! has an iterator, and it will descend to the
lowest context automatically, but does not look into << >> constructs.
Effectively, in this example, this will keep "foo" alive until the end
of the seq music marked "end!!"
