+
+All the variables defined for the SATB template, with the exception of
+the @code{VerseXxx} variables, are also available for the SSAATTBB
+template, see @ref{SATB template}. In addition, music and lyrics for
+first and second voices in any or all of the four parts may be specified
+by providing values for @code{SopranoOneMusic}, @code{SopranoTwoMusic},
+etc, with lyrics in @code{SopranoOneLyrics} and @code{SopranoTwoLyrics},
+etc. Up to four additional stanzas may be defined for all the voice
+parts by using the variables @code{SopranoOneLyricsOne}, with the others
+defined in an analogous way.
+
+Setting @code{TwoVoicesPerStaff} to @code{##t} will cause @emph{all}
+voice parts to be placed on single staves as divisi voices. If
+@code{TwoVoicesPerStaff} is left to default or set to @code{##f} then
+individual voice parts may be set on one or two staves according to
+the setting of @code{SopranoTwoVoicesPerStaff},
+@code{MenTwoVoicesPerStaff}, etc.
+
+As an example, suppose we have a piece for soprano and alto which begins
+with all voices in unison, progresses to a section with two parts,
+soprano and alto, and ends with a four-part section. This would be
+coded like this:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+Time = { s1 \break s1 \break }
+WomenMusic = \relative { a'4 a a a }
+WomenLyrics = \lyricmode { Wo -- men ly -- rics }
+SopranoMusic = \relative { s1 | c''4 c c c8 c }
+SopranoLyrics = \lyricmode{ So -- pra -- no ly -- rics }
+AltoMusic = \relative { s1 | g'4 g g g }
+AltoLyrics = \lyricmode { Al -- to ly -- rics }
+SopranoOneMusic = \relative { s1 | s1 |e''4 e e e }
+SopranoOneLyrics = \lyricmode { Sop One ly -- rics }
+SopranoTwoMusic = \relative { s1 | s1 | c''4 c c c }
+SopranoTwoLyrics = \lyricmode { Sop Two ly -- rics }
+AltoOneMusic = \relative { s1 | s1 | g'4 g g g8 g }
+AltoOneLyrics = \lyricmode { Al -- to One ly -- rics }
+AltoTwoMusic = \relative { s1 | s1 | e'4 e e e8 e }
+AltoTwoLyrics = \lyricmode { Al -- to Two ly -- rics }
+\layout { ragged-right = ##t }
+\include "ssaattbb.ly"
+@end lilypond
+
+Male voices may be added in an analogous way.
+
+To change the layout so that the divisi soprano voices use a shared
+staff, we simply set @code{SopranoTwoVoicesPerStaff} to ##t, leaving
+all other variables unchanged, like this:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+SopranoTwoVoicesPerStaff = ##t
+Time = { s1 \break s1 \break }
+WomenMusic = \relative { a'4 a a a }
+WomenLyrics = \lyricmode { Wo -- men ly -- rics }
+SopranoMusic = \relative { s1 | c''4 c c c8 c }
+SopranoLyrics = \lyricmode{ So -- pra -- no ly -- rics }
+AltoMusic = \relative { s1 | g'4 g g g }
+AltoLyrics = \lyricmode { Al -- to ly -- rics }
+SopranoOneMusic = \relative { s1 | s1 |e''4 e e e }
+SopranoOneLyrics = \lyricmode { Sop One ly -- rics }
+SopranoTwoMusic = \relative { s1 | s1 | c''4 c c c }
+SopranoTwoLyrics = \lyricmode { Sop Two ly -- rics }
+AltoOneMusic = \relative { s1 | s1 | g'4 g g g8 g }
+AltoOneLyrics = \lyricmode { Al -- to One ly -- rics }
+AltoTwoMusic = \relative { s1 | s1 | e'4 e e e8 e }
+AltoTwoLyrics = \lyricmode { Al -- to Two ly -- rics }
+\layout { ragged-right = ##t }
+\include "ssaattbb.ly"
+@end lilypond
+
+or, to make all paired voices share a single staff, set
+@code{TwoVoicesPerStaff} to ##t:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+TwoVoicesPerStaff = ##t
+Time = { s1 \break s1 \break }
+WomenMusic = \relative { a'4 a a a }
+WomenLyrics = \lyricmode { Wo -- men ly -- rics }
+SopranoMusic = \relative { s1 | c''4 c c c8 c }
+SopranoLyrics = \lyricmode{ So -- pra -- no ly -- rics }
+AltoMusic = \relative { s1 | g'4 g g g }
+AltoLyrics = \lyricmode { Al -- to ly -- rics }
+SopranoOneMusic = \relative { s1 | s1 |e''4 e e e }
+SopranoOneLyrics = \lyricmode { Sop One ly -- rics }
+SopranoTwoMusic = \relative { s1 | s1 | c''4 c c c }
+SopranoTwoLyrics = \lyricmode { Sop Two ly -- rics }
+AltoOneMusic = \relative { s1 | s1 | g'4 g g g8 g }
+AltoOneLyrics = \lyricmode { Al -- to One ly -- rics }
