I have a certain 5-measure choral section that involves the choir singing
from one stave one time and another stave on the repeat. Because there is a
1st and 2nd ending, that means some measures have nothing in them.
Here's diagram, which I hope retains the line breaks:
| ms1 |ms2 | 1 end | 1 end | 2 end
1st x| notes | notes | notes | notes | -----
2nd x| notes | notes | ----|---- | notes
In this situation, where technically no one ever actually is "resting,"
should the measures without notes have rests or use blank notation?
In a later situation, the choir sings from one stave into beats 1 and a half
of a certain measure, then switches to singing from both staves. Similarly
to above, would the unused beats of the "switch" measure have rests or be
blank? (FWIW, I do use a diagonal line to indicate that switch).
