Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between open and closed score?
Open score gives each voice its own staff: soprano and alto in treble clef, tenor in treble clef with an 8 below, bass in bass clef. Closed score, used in hymnals, writes soprano and alto on the treble staff and tenor and bass on the bass staff.
Is there room for lyrics?
Yes. With lyric lines on, each staff has a dotted line below it and extra space for the words.
Can I use it for other ensembles?
Yes. Turn off the voice labels and use it for string quartets or any four-part writing; the bracket and clefs stay the same.
How many systems fit on a page?
1 to 5. Two open-score systems or four closed-score systems fit comfortably on Letter and A4.
