In theory, yes. In practice, it's sometimes the choral director who chooses. If I've got an amateur choir with limited range and the composer writes a note they can't sing, what do I do? Generally, I'll have to either move voices around to cover the parts or just rewrite the passage. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
