The most precise notation would be a separate staff for the soloist ... it would leave no question. That seems a marketable offering to a client.

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 good way of distinguishing "everybody but the soloist" from "everyone including the soloist."

"All others" and put in rests for the soloist. I would not do this unless the situation is crystal clear; otherwise a separate staff for the soloist in indicated.
