Hello,

Just to back up my "either is OK" comment, here's a little bit from
Chappell's version of the Gondoliers. Personally I think this is lazy,
but
it's how they've done it.
Your example puzzles me, as i see no reason to mix two kinds of notation
here...
Don't string players have to put up with this kind of thing all the time?
They just add the notation 'div'/'non-div' or 'unison'.
Why not for vocal?
I don't know how to explain this... I mean, there is only one melody
throughout that measure, no structural changes. In my opinion it
should either have all notes double-stemmed, or all notes
single-stemmed.
Maybe the attachment will explain what i mean.

As a choral singer, the "explicit" image says sopranos and altos sharing a
staff; the "problem" implies a single voice splitting, probably
temporarily,
into e.g. Sop 1 and Sop 2.
Generally i agree; if the rhythyms are identical i'd notate it like
that. But if soprano splits temporarily into S1 and S2 which have
different rhythyms, explicit polyphonic notation is necessary.
cheers,

=============================================
I was simply illustrating that the standard of professional engraving at
around 1900 wasn't very precise. I am transcribing Gondoliers to LilyPond,
and if you count accidentals where they shouldn't be, there are literally
hundreds of errors.
