I too cleaned up the example (which is a masterclass in obfucsation)
to get down to the bare bones. I would have thought that the answer
lies in NM (2.19.36) §5.1.3 pp571-2. The staff which ends with ">>"
gets the pair of instantiated voices killed off, whereas the one
ending ">> r" has already returned to its old voice when it finishes.

But this idea doesn't hold using crochets instead of quavers. So
perhaps, as you pointed out, the difference in beaming has something
to do with it, or is a symptom of some underlying difference.

(The attached example is the same with 2.18 and 2.19)

Cheers,
David.
