The usual voice orders from top to bottom are
1 3 5 6 4 2

namely starting with the outer voices and progressing inwards.  That
makes \\ become increasingly awkward as you go beyond two voices.

It would have been saner to let \\ follow that convention, but changing
that now would make all heck break loose.
