No, there is no \voice command. Please read in the section "Explicitly
instantiating voices" in the manual, to learn what the \voiceOne ...

commands do. Even if you might not need this right now, it's very good to
know is somewhat more detail what the <<{...} \\ {...} >> actually does, to
avoid unpleasant surprises, for example when typesetting some lyrics or 
slurs
that go between monophonic and polyphonic sections.
