Style question: lead-and-chorus music

[Christopher R. Maden]

I’ve just released an album of sea chanteys (as threatened like a year 
ago).  I’m giving away a songbook with my arrangements — since I had to 
make MIDI guide tracks for the recording anyway, why not?

I’m struggling, though, with how best to engrave them.  There are 3 to 6 
voices in each chorus, and putting them all on one staff is messy, but 
making a proper ChoirStaff seems overkill.

I’d welcome any advice (especially since I think of this as a showcase 
for LilyPond) — the album home page is <URL: 
http://music.maden.org/index.php?title=Shower_Chanteys >, and each track 
link goes to a page with links to the LilyPond source, PDF, and MIDI 
output (for the first 11 tracks, so far).

Thanks in advance,
crism

Emperor Norton had the right idea.
