I have a question about the best way to produce music when it divides for maybe only a few bars in a piece. I often come across this when setting SATB vocal works. Straight forward SATB with a single voice to a line is simple enough, but I am struggling to find an elegant (and simple!) way to deal with a part that may divide into, say, S1 and S2 perhaps only for a few notes in the whole piece. The way I have sorted it so far is to duplicate the S line, put in the changed notes and substitute the common notes with skips, then combine them with something like \new Voice = "sopcombo" {\voiceOne << \global \sopMusic \sopDiv >> }
Whilst this seems to work reasonably well I do seem to lose some articulations, slurs etc in the process, and it does seem rather cumbersome. Division such as this is common enough in such music and I would have thought it could have a simple solution. Published music and the products of eg Sibelius seem to readily produce such results. Any ideas?
