Dear All,
I want to write a four part choral arrangement where some of the
voices move while singing the same syllable and others sing a single note
over that same syllable. If you're writing an SATB arrangement and you
choose the choir template so that each of the choir staves has voice one and
voice two, how do you write the verses under the text if one voice per staff
is moving where the other is stationary? Do you solve the problem by
writing the upper voice above the staff and the lower voice below the staff?
If that's the case, what happens if you have three verses to the song?
Any help would be appreciated.
Kevin
