Editing SATB (section)

==Notation==
When the soprano and alto are notated in one staff, all [[Stem (music)|stem]]s for the soprano go up, and all for the alto go down. Similarly, when the tenor and bass are notated in one staff, the upper voice is marked by stems up, and both voices are written in [[Clef|bass clef]], while the tenor is usually written in [[Clef|treble clef]] marked an [[octave]] down if it has its own staff.<ref name="Murphy">[https://music.utk.edu/theorycomp/courses/murphy/documents/PartWritingRules.pdf Dr. Barbara Murphy, University of Tennessee, School of Music]</ref><ref name="Music Theory for the 21st-Century Classroom 2021">{{cite web | title=Voice Leading | website=Music Theory for the 21st-Century Classroom | date=4 August 2021 | url=https://musictheory.pugetsound.edu/mt21c/VoiceLeading.html | access-date=26 March 2022 | archive-date=7 May 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220507153517/https://musictheory.pugetsound.edu/mt21c/VoiceLeading.html | url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="LilyPond – Music notation for everyone">{{cite web | title=LilyPond Learning Manual: A.1.1 SATB template | website=LilyPond – Music notation for everyone | url=https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.21/Documentation/learning/satb-template.html | access-date=26 March 2022}}</ref><ref name="LilyPond – Music notation for everyone_2">{{cite web | title=LilyPond Learning Manual: 3.4.2 Four-part SATB vocal score | website=LilyPond – Music notation for everyone | url=https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/learning/four_002dpart-satb-vocal-score.html | access-date=26 March 2022}}</ref>
