+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
+@emph{Temporary polyphonic passages} in @ref{Single-staff polyphony}.

Choral music is usually notated on two, three or four staves within
a @code{ChoirStaff} group. Accompaniment, if required, is placed
beneath in a @code{PianoStaff} group, which is usually reduced in
-size for @emph{a capella} choral works. The notes for each vocal
-part are placed in a @code{Voice} context, with each staff
+size for rehearsal of @emph{a cappella} choral works. The notes for
+each vocal part are placed in a @code{Voice} context, with each staff
being given either a single vocal part (i.e., one @code{Voice}) or
a pair of vocal parts (i.e., two @code{Voice}s).
