First question I anticipate from users on this, if we are making a
canonical SATB score template in this way: How do I get the altos and
sopranos on the same staff, and the tenors and basses on the same
staff? For instance, this template doesn't help me at all, since I use
the two staves instead of four. I could be wrong, and realize that
many use separate staves, but there are also many who don't.
