Most arrangers that I know, use music notation software like Sibelius or Finale, to make scores look nice. But most of the writing we tend to do at the piano. (At least, I hope so, because arranging behind the computer is a bad habbit.) Thus, writing for choir starts on paper.
If you’re writing for choir regularly, it’s handy to have music paper on which the voicing is printed on forehand. For that purpose, I created music paper for the different voicings. For a cappella arranging, I made versions for SATB, SSAA and SSATB. For choir with accompaniment, I created versions for SATB with piano and koor (two staffs) with piano.
For all five of these I made versions with and without barlines. Sometimes it’s practical to have a subdivision in four bars per system. But in other situations you want a different number of measures per system, for example, when you need more space in each bar.
Below you may choose the music paper you need.
