Formatting a choral score

Welcome to the forum @pfv2!

There are a couple of ways.

The first one I would try is to use the Reduce function:

  • Copy all the music from the S and A staves
  • Select the staff that you want to be the SA staff
  • Edit or Right-click > Paste Special > Reduce

(I’m not sure what would happen with differing lyrics using this method)

Another method would be to just paste each staff’s material into different voices. I’d start with the S part:

  • Copy and paste the S staff into the SA staff.
  • Flip the lyrics so that they are above the staff (select them and press F)
  • Copy the A staff > select the SA staff > Edit > Paste Special > Paste Into Voice > New Down-stem Voice

Since you pasted the A staff after the S staff, it’s lyrics can just stay underneath.

Do either of these help?
