I definitely object to this. The meaning and use of the \voicexxx
predefs is engrained in the habits and memory of many, most?, of the
long-standing LP users, as well as pretty well all existing code.
Changing the way the << .. \\ .. >> construct works is one thing,
one I could perhaps be persuaded to accept, but renaming the \voicexxx
constructs would be a major change which is far from justified by the
current rather minor issue - one that has hardly, if ever, figured in
user queries, probably because anyone needing more than two voices
would almost certainly code them explicitly, as 1,3,5 .. 6,4,2 - the
way clearly set out in the manuals, with the numbers corresponding to
the rank of the shifts.

\splitUDD { topmusic \with UP } { middlemusic \with DOWN } { bottommusic

etc.
This approach looks much less invasive and quite intuitive. Worth
exploring further, I think.
