change voicing SATB.ATB to SAATTBB?

Posted by: Vaarky 18:34, 28 August 2008 (PDT)	Help
This score is the only score in voicing category "SATB.ATB". Is there any reason not to change it to SAATTBB? My theory is that people looking at the voice parts want to know what forces are needed to sing the work, not how specifically the chorus divides these voice parts when things are antiphonal. Any objection?

Yes, I would have an objection to just changing the category - some people might be looking specifically for antiphonal pieces and the format of the voicing would make it clear that this is indeed antiphonal. However, I would have no problem with the SAATTBB category being added to the page in addition to the existing cat. --Bobnotts talk 22:26, 28 August 2008 (PDT)
