I would like to write choral scores for soprano I, soprano II, alto and
bass.
The first part is quite simple. All parts are almost in unison, only the
bass is an octave lower. This section should be written on two staves.
The upper system consists of the sopranos and the alto part, the lower
one of the bass.
The second part starting on a bar we have two sopranos, which are given
their own system. The alto is on the second system and the bass on the
third. How can I write this in Lilypond?
Which syntactic tools can I use?
For the first part I would write the notes in a variable and use
\addQuote and \quoteDuring to avoid writing the same melody several
times. Is there a better way?
I have no idea how I can notate the move from three voices (S1,S2,A) in
one system to separate systems (S1,S2) (A).
Best regards
Helge
