Hi all,

For choir scores, I always put dynamics above the staff (recommended to avoid collision with lyrics).

However, imagine a score for viola and choir... Shall I put the viola's dynamics below the staff, and the choir dynamics above the staves?

Cheers,
HP.

Yes.

Where are you going to put the viola - above or below the chorus?

Thanks, everyone :)

N: I have the viola above the chorus. When I used the setup wizard, I added an extra "space" between it and the top staff of the chorus.

Cheers,
Hector Pascal.
