Hi, i have a SATB choral piece and occasionally some voices are split in two. If the rhythyms differ, a polyphonic notation must be used - that's obvious. But, what to do in the situation pictured in the problem.png attachment? Is the notation used self-explanatory? It's all about the first note. In my opinion it's clear that it should be sang by both voices, but maybe an explicit polyphonic notation should be used (see explicit.png)? Do engraving books say anything about this? What do you think about this? cheers, Janek
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.
