Most songs can use your choir's standard sections. When an arrangement is different, Override song sections lets you choose and name the sections for that song alone.
Premium Feature
Custom voice parts per song is a Premium group feature. See subscription plans for details.
Use an override when you need to leave out an unused section, add a split part such as Tenor 1 and Tenor 2, rename a section for this arrangement, or put the sections in a different order.
By default, choir owners and administrators can manage the repertoire. A choir owner can change the minimum role in the choir settings. Learn more about roles and permissions.

The selected sections become the choices used for that song's sheet music, audio files, and section-specific lyrics. Custom names and ordering apply only to this song. The rest of the repertoire continues to use the choir defaults.
Warning
