Bill, Like I said earlier, the music I am talking about is not complicated. When it does get complicated, of course I use separate staves for soloists and chorus. It's certainly got nothing to do with laziness, either, as I'm being paid by the hour, here. The situation I am talking about

I have no idea why this is even a question. Make a separate staff for the soloist, and then indicate "go get coffee" or something when she doesn't sing. I am opposed to anything that is too accedemic for "musically-challanged" chorus members to digest. I am not that financially well-endowed to p

In choral music I've seen, it's been more or less a non-issue, since each part has a separate staff (or at least a separate line on a staff - stems up / stems down). The soloist is also broken out as a separate staff. If the soloist is from a particular part (for example, a single tenor from th

Really? So how do you differentiate passages that are to be sung by _all_ (including the soloist)? In orchestral work, "gli altri" or "the rest" = "everyone but the soloist," which is not the same as "tutti." My client doesn't seem to think "the rest" is clear enough, but I still need a goo
