I cannot speak for M-Tx (which you would need to use for lyrics), but in PMX
it is *very* easy to put two instruments on one staff (actually the PMX
terminology is "two lines of music" on one staff). And if later you want to
change them to separate staves, that would also be very easy, simply having
to replace the "//" with "/" at the end of the first of each bass/tenor pair
of input lines.
If you do not or cannot use a pre-processor, everything will be hard.

Subject: Two instruments on one stuff
Hi,
Is it possible to have two instruments on one and the same stuff?
I plan to publish some choral scores with the use of MusixTeX/MXlyr, and
I'd like to retain the possibility to quickly change the layout: either
to join tenor with bass or to provide a separate stuff to him. From what
I see now, I can hardly figure out that this is at all possible: I have
to write tenor+bass scores as if it was a single 'instrument' issuing
chords:
\zql L\qu b
\zql M\qu c
\zql L\qu b
...
rather than
\ql{LML} & \qu{bcb}
(this example may be musically unreasonable, just to show the idea)
Thank you in advance
Alexander
