My intention is to add an ssaattbb template once this patch has been
installed.  This would have three staves for each part: s1, s2 and s,
etc, with separate TwoVoicesPerStaff controls for each part.  This would
make it easy to produce TTBB or any other combination of doubled parts.

(Of course you could produce a TTBB score now, with satb.ly, by simply
writing SopranoMusic = TenorOneMusic, with SopranoInstrumentName =
"Tenor 1", etc, but that's a bit clunky.)

Now that's worth considering.  I'll look into that.  My reason for not
providing a score tkit in the present submission was the large number of
parameters that would need to be passed, and I didn't have a convincing
use case, but you've just suggested a better approach and a possible use
case.

If you mean for the case when TwoVoicesPerStaff is true, it would make
it difficult to associate lyrics with voices.  If you mean for Women or
Men voices or for Piano accompaniment, then of course you can do this
yourself within the provided music, but again the lyric associations
would be problematic.

I think this would be best accommodated in the future ssaattbb template
I mentioned above, since alternate lyrics usually implies split voices.
