Another point, dwelling on the lyrics… On Mon 13 Nov 2017 at 10:55:06 (+0100), Werner Arnhold wrote:

When you add the text, you need to take account of the moving part in bar 5 on "Welt". For the basses, you could merely add the lyrics to the 1st part, but this might not be convenient later on in the movement. So … The soprano situation is trickier because the moving part is necessarily displaced. Here you should use a NullVoice, duplicating the 2nd part (because theirs is written below the staff). However, at bar 5, the last note in the NullVoice should be modified to a4~a to match the rhythm of the 2nd part, but without displacement, like the 1st part. … you may therefore decide to tackle the bass parts similarly, adding a NullVoice. BTW does the German used here sound as archaic as Coverdale's translation (Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in) or does it resemble contemporary usage?
