+It is common in choral music to have a voice part split for
+several measures.  The @code{<< @{@dots{}@} \\ @{@dots{}@} >>}
+construct, where the two (or more) musical expressions are
+separated by double backslashes, might seem the proper way to
+set the split voices.  This construct, however, will assign
+@strong{all} the expressions within it to @strong{NEW Voice
+contexts} which will result in @emph{no lyrics} being set for
+them since the lyrics will be set to the original voice context
+-- not, typically, what one wants.  The temporary polyphonic
+passage is the proper construct to use, see section
