This template is intended for use in a work page, to display the number of voices and the voicing of the original work. It has two required parameters and two optional parameters.
Parameters
- 1. Number of voices. An integer number (42 or less) or combination of integer numbers with possible punctuation; the letters vv will be displayed to the end of what you enter.
- This parameter is not standardized: but it is recommended to use one integer (e.g., 8 or 16), and explain further in following parameters.
- 2. Identification of parts. A string of letters only the letters B T A S, with no spaces. It is possible to use one of two punctuation marks within the string: period (.) or comma (,).
- Periods indicate multiple choirs (e.g., SSATB.SSATB.SSATB – three five-voice choirs), which will display as written; in this case, the total number of letters should be the number in the first parameter (15 in the example).
- Commas indicate optional voicing (e.g., SAT,SAB,SST), which will display with or between; the number of letters delimited by commas should be the same, which is the number in the first parameter (3 in this example).
- 3. Optional substitute text. Plain text that will display for the category specified in the second parameter. Cannot include a link or a template.
- Please do not use special characters (such as & # $ / \ | [ ] ).
- add=. Text that will display after the voicing. It could include links or templates. Please do not use special characters.
