Thanks, It was a snippet I found in the LSR that made me try PhrasingSlur. I
can't remember the snippet name and until the search function in LSR
recovers I can't find it again, as search doesn't seem to be working at the
moment.

But anyway, I solved (sidestepped?) the problem by using the << { } \\ { }

an explicit voiceTwo all the way through the piece with lots of s notes.
