Subject: Re: Changing voice order...
There are by now two components to my proposal: fading out \voiceOne
... \voiceFour since they _never_ correspond to voices 1/2/3/4 in a
four-voiced context but to voices 1/4/2/3. And changing the meaning of
<< \\ \\ \\ >>.
I'm concerned by this. I don't believe I have ever used more than 2 voices
in choral music: typically the sops/tenors get voice one, and the
alto/basses get voice two. If any of these is doubled (e.g. sop1 and sop2)
then they are shown as chorded notes, still in their normal voice. If it
gets more complex than this, then current vocal music almost always resorts
to a stave per vocal group. It looks to me like the proposal would end up
with voiceTwo having upstems. I am very much against that. It would mean I
would have to update a lot of music to make it usable. I don't use
concert-ly 'cos I find it a pain on Windows.
Who uses four voices on one stave in vocal setting?
