Sections and voice parts

A section is a group of singers, such as the sopranos, with its own leader. A voice part is a line of the music, such as Soprano 1 or Soprano 2: the practice tracks of a song are attached to voice parts. Each member has one section and one voice part.

Who can do it

The Director and the Tenant Admin, in Manage › Sections and Manage › Voice Parts. Your choir may also have given this work to a role of its own. Every member can see the sections and voice parts.

How to

Set up the voice parts

1. In Manage › Voice Parts, tap Add voice part: its name, its Sort order, and, if it splits from another part, its Parent voice part (Soprano 1 under Soprano, say).
2. Leave Assignable to choristers on for the parts members sing. A part that isn't assignable is not offered when you set a member's voice part.
3. Open a part to see its Sub-parts. A part can't sit under itself or under one of its own sub-parts.
4. To remove a part, open it and choose Delete voice part in its menu. Members keep it until you give them another.

Set up the sections

1. In Manage › Sections, tap Add section: its name (Sopranos, say), its Sort order and, if you know it, its Section leader.
2. Place each member from their own page: in Manage › Choristers and Staff, open the member, then Membership › Edit, and pick their section and voice part. A section's page lists its members but doesn't change them.
3. To remove a section, open it and choose Delete section in its menu. Members keep their section until you give them another, and the section's leader loses their leader role.

Name a section leader

1. Open the section, tap Edit under Details and pick the Section leader. They get that section's Section Leader role at once, and the previous leader loses it.
2. What the leader can publish for the section is in Publish for your section. What they may do with it afterwards is set in Manage › Settings › Section leader powers.
3. Give these powers to more people opens the section's role in Manage › Roles, where a Tenant Admin adds the helpers. It shows only to someone who may give roles, so a Director doesn't see it: ask a Tenant Admin.
4. To take the role from the named leader, change the leader here: it can't be removed in Roles.

Section leaders appear in the Community's Who's who when the Community is on.
