I’ve found the [divisi function](https://www.steinberg.help/r/dorico-pro/4.3/en/dorico/topics/notation_reference/notation_reference_divisi/notation_reference_divisi_c.html) helpful when needing both closed and open SATB staves.

In this sample, I built the choir using two staves and applied divisi when four staves were more appropriate.

The screenshots show both page and galley views. I’m not sure if my method is the best, most semantic was to approach this, but it’s worked well!
