lilypond-learning states:
This example has just two voices, but the same construct may be used
to encode three or more voices by adding more back-slash separators.
The Voice contexts bear the names ‘"1"’, ‘"2"’, etc. The first
contexts set the _outer_ voices, the highest voice in context ‘"1"’ and
the lowest voice in context ‘"2"’. The inner voices go in contexts
‘"3"’ and ‘"4"’. In each of these contexts, the vertical direction of
slurs, stems, ties, dynamics etc., is set appropriately.
So yes, you are right. Which also downs my \voiceUp \voiceDown
\voiceUpUp \voiceDownDown proposal and means it rather must be something
like \voiceUp \voiceDown \voiceUpInner \voiceDownInner or maybe
\voiceUp \voiceDown \inner \VoiceUp \inner \voiceDown
\inner \inner \VoiceUp ...
