The functionality of the "Split Voices" "Join Voices" is not documented,
but *very* likely it is not what you want. (I think it would be better
if these were hidden commands, only for people with some special needs.)
All those commands do is affect the display, showing all the voices in
the display on one staff rather than on separate staffs. This makes it
difficult to edit them without much benefit nowadays when you can have a
small portion of the score continuously typeset so you can see how they
will look on the same staff. So keep your voices displaying on separate
staffs (as when you "Add Voice").

whether you have them displaying on one or two staffs won't affect
Denemo's MIDI export. It won't affect LilyPond's either (since it only
affects the Denemo Display), though LilyPond's MIDI may be different if
you use the Voice to Staff command to typeset the voices on separate
staffs.
