I'm sorry it was so obtuse! There's a reason I had to do it this way but it's somewhat involved to explain, so forgive me that, but here is what I sent privately to John: This is a TTBB adaptation of an SATB anthem. The road map must be exact, because the accompaniment, orchestration, etc. is played from the SATB. I'm also the arranger, and in the particular section in question I was specifically asked to give the repeats some variety in part-writing, as previous and subsequent sections are almost identical to this one. In this case, the best way to do this was to put all the men in the tenor clef for one repeat (singing certain parts) and then in the bass clef on the repeat (singing different [i.e., higher] parts). To do it any other way would require extending the measure count, which I can't do. I've done what I should have done in the first place, which is to post the segment in question on the web at this link: <http://richardhuggins.com/finaleex/elijah.htm> I have left the rests in the unused measures, as seems to be the opinion so far. I hope the graphic clears up what I was talking about. Thanks.
