Hi Harm,
Speaking as a user, I always thought about a "Voice" like a
_musician_, never had problems with that thinking.
But (he says, taking on the role of the average newbie user) a pianist is a
musician.
So why can’t I write all of the piano music I need that musician to play in a
single Voice?
;)
Ultimately, if you understand a MIDI “voice”, then you understand a Lilypond
“Voice”.
If you don’t, I’m not sure there’s a real-world analogy that can be drawn
clearly.
Hm, I'm not so sure about that.
As a pianist I do have a notion of "voice" that's quite close to LilyPond's.
On the piano I can play/think in voices or not. If I don't play voiced
(i.e. polyphonic) music a usually can translate that to chords in LilyPond.
And with all these inconsistencies in piano writing that are so hard to
translate to LilyPond I have already grasped before that this is because
of the piano's "abuse" of voices.
I still often curse LilyPond that it can't mimick this abuse (for
example by allowing slurs to go from one voice to another), but it's not
an issue with the *concept* of "Voice".
Urs
Cheers,
Kieren.
