Element: voice [group voice]
Description
A voice is a sequence of musical events (e.g. notes, chords, rests) that proceeds linearly in time. The voice element is used to distinguish between multiple voices (what MuseData calls tracks) in individual parts. It is defined within a group due to its multiple uses within the MusicXML schema.
