In the case of orchestral scores choral staves typically go immediately
above the double bass- and violoncello parts followed by the remaining
strings. Then follows the non-pitched percussion-, the pitched
percussion-, the brass- and in the top the woodwind section. An
orchestral score with piano puts the piano above the strings. As I have
no orchestral score at hand having both a choir and a piano section, for
example that of the "Fr�hlingsphantasie" by N. W. Gade I can't tell the
order of that combination.
I'm not sure whether there is a similar convention for chorus with piano
plus other instruments. I would, however, attempt to follow the above
described order. If there are no strings I would consider placing the
piano in the bottom of the score.
