Oh, sorry, in that case I misunderstood you. I had thought from what you wrote that the edge was vibrating, as typical of the head voice, with minimal but still present involvement from the muscular portion (that was what I had thought you meant by "along for the ride") as opposed to no involvement from the muscular portion at all.
The way it had been taught to me, borne out by most of what I had read, was that the good co-ordinated voice was using both of these functions in varying proportions for the greater part of its range, thought the extremities ("pure" head and "pure" chest voice involved the vibration of just the one portion or the other. I am aware that this is an over-simplification, but it always worked for me. -- Linda
