That’s not exactly the way I would put it…
What you call “voices 3 and 4” are actually voices 1 and 2 **in the lower
staff**. If you have three or four actual different (polyphonic) voices in a
single staff, then you would use \voiceThree and \voiceFour. In other words,
each Staff context can have its own \voiceOne, \voiceTwo, etc. [Voice] contexts.

Yes. And with more complex scores, you’d have to add lots of other similar
commands (e.g., \tieUp, \stemUp), all of which Lily handles automatically when
you use the correct structure.
Best regards,
Kieren.
