+A template, suitable for a range of choral music, is built into
+LilyPond. This may be used to create simple choral music, with or
+without piano accompaniment, in two or four staves. Unlike other
+templates, this template is @q{built-in}, which means it does not
+need to be copied and edited: instead it is simply
+@code{\include}'d in the input file.
+
+@warning {Unlike most included files, this built-in template must be
+@code{\include}'d at the @emph{end} of the input file.}
+
+The required music expressions are entered by defining values for
+specific variables. These definition must come before the
+@code{\include}'d file.
+
+The music may be set out with one or two voices per staff by setting
+@code{TwoVoicesPerStaff} to @code{##f} or @code{##t} respectively.
+
+Here's the complete input file for producing a full four-part SATB
+arrangement with individual lyrics and piano accompaniment:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim, quote]
+ SopranoMusic = \relative { a'4\f a8 a a4 a }
+ SopranoLyrics = \lyricmode { Sop -- ra -- no ly -- rics }
+ AltoMusic = \relative { d'4\f d d d }
+ AltoLyrics = \lyricmode { Al -- to ly -- rics }
+ TenorMusic = \relative { a4\p a a a }
+ TenorLyrics = \lyricmode { Te -- nor ly -- rics }
+ BassMusic = \relative { c2\p c4 c }
+ BassLyrics = \lyricmode { Bass ly -- rics }
+ PianoRHMusic = \relative { c' e g c }
+ PianoDynamics = { s2\mp s4 s4 }
+ PianoLHMusic = \relative { c e g c }
+ \include "satb.ly"
+@end lilypond
+
+The same input can be used to produce a score with two voices
+per staff just by setting @code{TwoVoicesPerStaff} to @code{##t}.
+Again, each voice has individual lyrics.
+
+
+@lilypond[verbatim, quote]
+ SopranoMusic = \relative { a'4\f a8 a a4 a }
+ SopranoLyrics = \lyricmode { Sop -- ra -- no ly -- rics }
+ AltoMusic = \relative { d'4\f d d d }
+ AltoLyrics = \lyricmode { Al -- to ly -- rics }
+ TenorMusic = \relative { a4\p a a a }
+ TenorLyrics = \lyricmode { Te -- nor ly -- rics }
+ BassMusic = \relative { c2\p c4 c }
+ BassLyrics = \lyricmode { Bass ly -- rics }
+ PianoRHMusic = \relative { c' e g c }
+ PianoDynamics = { s2\mp s4 s4 }
+ PianoLHMusic = \relative { c e g c }
+ TwoVoicesPerStaff = ##t
+ \include "satb.ly"
+@end lilypond
+
+When @code{TwoVoicesPerStaff} is set to false or allowed to default,
+any of the music variables may be omitted to produce arrangements
+with fewer voices. Here, for example, is how the input file for a
+Soprano/Bass duet might be written:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+ SopranoMusic = \relative { c'' c c c }
+ SopranoLyrics = \lyricmode { High voice ly -- rics }
+ BassMusic = \relative { a a a a }
+ BassLyrics = \lyricmode { Low voice ly -- rics }
+ \include "satb.ly"
+@end lilypond
+
+A second verse or alternative lyrics may be added to each of the
+parts:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim, quote]
+ SopranoMusic = \relative { a'4 a a a }
+ SopranoLyricsOne = \lyricmode {
+ \set stanza = "1."
+ Words to verse one
+ }
+ SopranoLyricsTwo = \lyricmode {
+ \set stanza = "2."
+ Words to verse two
+ }
+ \include "satb.ly"
+@end lilypond
+
+When the lyrics and rhythms are the same for every part, the vocal
+music is best arranged on two staves with two voices in each. Up to
+nine verses may be provided. Here's an unaccompanied example with
+just three verses.
+
+@lilypond[verbatim, quote]
+ SopranoMusic = \relative { a' a a a }
+ AltoMusic = \relative { f' f f f }
+ VerseOne = \lyricmode {
+ \set stanza = "1."
+ Words to verse one
+ }
+ VerseTwo = \lyricmode {
+ \set stanza = "2."
+ Words to verse two
+ }
+ VerseThree = \lyricmode {
+ \set stanza = "3."
+ Words to verse three
+ }
+ TenorMusic = \relative { a a a a }
+ BassMusic = \relative { f f f f }
+ TwoVoicesPerStaff = ##t
+ \include "satb.ly"
+@end lilypond
+
+Other variables may be given values. The key signature and
+the time signature may be changed from the default:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim, quote]
+ Key = \key a \major
+ Time = {
+ \time 5/4
+ \tempo "Allegro" 4 = 144
+ }
+ SopranoMusic = \relative { gis' gis gis gis gis }
+ AltoMusic = \relative { cis' cis cis cis cis }
+ VerseOne = \lyricmode { Words to this du -- et }
+ TwoVoicesPerStaff = ##t
+ \include "satb.ly"
+@end lilypond
+
+The instrument names and/or the short instrument names may be
+changed:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+ SopranoMusic = \relative { c'' c c c }
+ SopranoLyrics = \lyricmode { High voice ly -- rics }
+ SopranoInstrumentName = "Soprano 1"
+ SopranoShortInstrumentName = "S1"
+ AltoMusic = \relative { a' a a a }
+ AltoLyrics = \lyricmode { Low voice ly -- rics }
+ AltoInstrumentName = "Soprano 2"
+ AltoShortInstrumentName = "S2"
+ \include "satb.ly"
+@end lilypond
+
+A descant may be added by defining values for the variable
+@code{DescantMusic} and descant lyrics may be provided by defining
+values for @code{DescantLyrics}. In a similar way a solo part may be
+added above the grouped choir staves by defining values for
+@code{SoloMusic} and @code{SoloLyrics}.
+
+@code{\header} and @code{\paper} blocks may be added as normal.
+A @code{\layout} block may be provided as the value of the
+@code{Layout} variable:
+
+@example
+Layout = \layout @{ ... @}
+@end example
+
+The complete set of variables which may be changed can be seen by
+examining the file @file{ly/satb.ly}.
