Sorry. I was labouring under the misapprehension that you _wanted_ staves starting mid-page (as in your OP, but placed correctly between the upper voices and the piano), and that Klaus was advocating frenching the score instead. Now I'm confused. In any case: A "start/stop" solution might start a new staff at the penultimate bar of p101 with two semiquavers at the end, labelled "Chorus of Men (basses)". A "compromise" solution might start a new page three bars earlier than p102 currently does, so Cap C would use the tenor line briefly, just as Mrs Cripps does later. A "work to do" solution might involve adding <df' bf>4. and the word "thee" to p102/bar1/staff2 and splitting guidelines at the very end of p101. > I see an example of almost precisely my situation at the top of page 102. …which is why I quoted it. > On page 101, you have one staff alternating between male chorus and a > soloist.

But I'm not sure which of these alternative(s) you might be happy with.
