Well, *what* various sections? What "all the common stuff"? > and under each vocal style would be all the > specialist stuff for that style. What styles? I agree that songs and chants can be regarded as two "styles", but I'm afraid it doesn't go any further... > This has two advantages: it has the same layout as the other specialist > sections, and people > wanting to just set simple songs don't have to > wade through stuff on other types of vocal music. You have to tell me what you have in mind when talking about "types", "styles" or whatever. I may be dumb as a pianist, but to me what makes vocal music specific is that you have to enter lyrics -- which is why the layout I proposed aimed to gradually explained how to do so. I looked in vain for a layout that would be compatible with other 2.x sections, but if you can elaborate on your idea, I'd be happy to change my mind.
