The Audio Imperia Chorus - Muse Sounds Edition is crafted exclusively for
the Muse Sounds engine: derived from the Audio Imperia’s "Chorus" and
carefully optimised for playback from notation.

a large selection of traditional articulations and syllables. The syllables include
three different variations of traditional, energetic and slow to cover choral
music from gentle quiet sections to aggressive trailer music.

Assigning Lyrics
This library makes extensive use of the lyrics feature within StaffPad and
MuseScore Studio. Setting notes with lyrics that match up with the available
articulations allows the parts to sing the correct sounds.
Lyrics are assigned in MuseScore Studio by selecting a note and pressing
COMMAND + L on MAC or CONTROL + L on PC. While entering lyrics,
pressing the SPACE BAR moves the lyric entry to the next note.
Reference the articulations list above for the lyrics that are accessible.
Remember that the syllables include plural versions so that “Lah” can be
entered as “Lahs” to include an “s” on the note release.
Words or complex passages can be built by combining syllables.
The Syllables also include variations with plural “S” releases and
non-“S” releases. Be sure to try these out!
