I’ve just released an album of sea chanteys (as threatened like a

I had to make MIDI guide tracks for the recording anyway, why not?
I’m struggling, though, with how best to engrave them. There are 3
to 6 voices in each chorus, and putting them all on one staff is
messy, but making a proper ChoirStaff seems overkill.
I would put two lines to a staff at most. If there are an odd number
of voices, give the time a line of its own. It can be quite tricky to
read the middle line of a bunch of three-note chords, and the ability
to do that separates the elite second soprano from the rest.
Thanks, and apologies for the much-delayed response...
I’ve redone <URL: http://music.maden.org/index.php?title=Rio_Grande >
(direct PDF download: <URL:

about the right amount of detail?
Thanks again in advance,
