Another thought: Although I never really formulated it as such, I guess I think of the distance between men's voices and women's voice more like a ninth rather than an octave. For example: - chorus altos on low G is like chorus basses on low F - chorus tenors on high G is like chorus sopranos on high A - baritone soloist's high F is like mezzosoprano soloist's high G etc mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
