DAYMAKER!

I'm watching this voice-order discussion closely. I have no position on 
how LilyPond should work with this. I've been using it for less than 2 
years, often in cargo-cult mode, and really need to get around to 
reading the manuals the whole way through.

Just before the discussion started, I discovered the voice-order issue 
while trying to typeset the SSATTBB anthem "Prayer of Thankful Praise" 
by Hal Hopson.
(This thing: hopepublishing.com/media/pdf/HH3905.pdf ,

I happily entered Soprano I on top, Soprano II below it, and Alto at the 
bottom. It didn't do what I expected. I gave up and tried entering 
chords for <SopranoI SopranoII> which then introduced me to \oneVoice 
temporary voices at the end, where each of the song's 7 voices has 
differing durations.
