Hi, i have a SATB choral piece and occasionally some voices are split in two. If the rhythyms differ, a polyphonic notation must be used - that's obvious. But, what to do in the situation pictured in the problem.png attachment? Is the notation used self-explanatory? It's all about the first note. In my opinion it's clear that it should be sang by both voices, but maybe an explicit polyphonic notation should be used (see explicit.png)? Do engraving books say anything about this? What do you think about this?
I don't know what engraving reference books say, but the "problem" example, even though technically it should be obvious, causes me a moment of confusion when I try to sing it. I believe that if you can make a score clearer and less confusing (without wasting a lot of time or space) then you should do so. -- David
