Part 6: Arranging<br />

Note<br />

Charts for choruses are<br />

sometimes called SATB<br />

scores, for the soprano,<br />

alto, tenor, and bass parts.<br />

Tip<br />

If there are additional<br />

backing<br />

instruments, they<br />

can also be<br />

included in the score—<br />

below the vocals, just like<br />

the piano part.<br />

When you create a choral score—or any score with multiple parts, for that<br />

matter—make sure a measure within one part aligns vertically with the same<br />

measure in all the other parts. In fact, the notes within each measure also<br />

should align between parts. If it helps, use a ruler to help keep the notes in<br />

alignment when you’re writing the score.<br />
