Divisi Spreadsheets

The best way to assign divisi is with a spreadsheet.

At the top of the spreadsheet, List every divisi from standard voicing, with bar numbers and description.

For example: 6-part split, mm56-58

Immediately underneath that, list your standard voicing with all names.

Underneath that, list every divisi assignment

5-part split

6-part split

soprano divisi

alto divisi

Whatever you have, Title it, and then a column for each voice part.

You can use it to make sure you’ve divided appropriately. Ensemble members can use it to mark and double check their music. It works like a charm.
