Werner,

I was thrilled and excited by your proposal.
Having had some leisure time this afternoon (although without
net-access) I played around with it.
I've taken it as a local command, though.

The result is a wrapper around simultaneous music, with and without "\\".
You can input straight away from top to bottom voice.
The voiceXxx-settings and context-ids are done automatically, but
respect user-settings.

The engraver to annotate info is in as well, could be deleted ofcourse.

It's not tested beyond the given examples, but following this route
would make the input much more logical and because it's a wrapper we
would warrant backward compatibility, no need to change anything
else...

Opinions?


Cheers,
  Harm
