Choir score
Hi there!
I need your help:
I want to set a choir arrangement with Soprano and Alto in one stave and Tenor and Bass in another.
How do I achieve that?
Thx!
Regards,
Mario

When you are creating a new score, select Soprano as one instrument and Bass as the other. Add a piano if you need one. The rest is up to you. Then learn how to use voices as Shoichi pointed out.
MuseScore 2.0 Beta 1 comes with a closed score SATB template,which seems exactly what you need.

Thank you!
Not exactly: both rest signs at the beginning of setting the score are blue and though I get 4 rest signs for 4 colors, I still have 5 signs, two of them the blue ones.
However, all the rest signs are blue at the beginning: upper stave AND lower stave.
And I have version 1.3 revision 5702
In reply to Thank you!Not exactly: both by mahler77
if you have two staves, then you could indeed have two rests in voice 1 - one for each staff. That's correct. That is, the top staff should have voice 1 for soprano & 2 for alto, while the bottom staff should have voice 1 for tenor & 2 for bass. BTW, the colors are just so you can tell which voice is which on screen. They all print black.
If this doesn't answer your question, can you post the score you are having problems with?
It seems I am just kind of stupid or I don't understand some steps.
I still cannot make two voice in one stave. I followed the instructions for voices (soprano upper stave and bass lower stave), but everytime when I choose Voice 2 (after going into note set mode), it sets the second voice as a part of the Voice 1. I cannot get two voices with different note durations and stuff... Help me please, I am desperate..Thx!

Please post the score you having problems with, and post the *precise* steps you are following so we can see where you are going wrong.

You have to be in edit mode BEFORE you select the voice.

@all: Thx for your advice! I got it finally!
I still have one more question:
how can I set the lyrics above the notes, like in that space between alto and tenor? It should spare place....
Thx!
In reply to I still have one more by mahler77
Assuming you want some lyrics above but pothers below, only good way to do that is to manually move the ones you want above. In 1;3, this would probably best be done by selecting them, right clicking and using Text Properties to change the vertical offset, or ctrl+dragging them. In 2.l0, the Inspector would be the simpler way to do the job.

Which vertical offset setting do I need? Doesn't ctrl+dragging mean the same as the left click on the mouse+dragging?
In reply to Which vertical offset setting by mahler77
Never mind abut Text Properties, doesn't seem to work in 1.3.
Ctrl+drag means drag while holding Ctrl. You need that in order to keep your selection; otherwise, when you click to start the drag, it loses the selection.

And by holding shift while dragging you can make a selection box. It's easier to select a long string of text with a box. Especially with the new "Continuous view" setting in the beta! Thanks developers!
