Choral and Instrumental Sections

Learn how to add and configure choral and instrumental sections in the Source & Summit Digital Platform.

The information in this article applies to all Source & Summit customers.

Adding choral and instrumental sections

1. Create or open an Ordo.

2. In the left panel, click +.

3. Hover over Choral or Instrumental, then click the section type you’d like to add (Prelude, Offertory Motet, Postlude, etc.)

   → An empty section will appear in your Outline in the appropriate place.

   → You can click and drag the section to reposition it if needed.

Accessing choral and instrumental music

While Source & Summit does not currently provide native choral or instrumental music libraries, you can upload your own files to manage your entire digital music library in one place. Visit Uploading content to learn more.

Adding choral translations

If your choir is singing a sacred text in another language, consider adding a translation to your congregational booklet to help the assembly follow along. Add a custom text to your uploaded file to keep text-only and full score versions organized together.

1. Hover over Choral or Instrumental, then click the section type you’d like to add (Prelude, Offertory Motet, Postlude, etc).

   → An empty section will appear in your outline in the appropriate place.

2. Select My Choral Music from the right panel.

3. Select your uploaded music.

   → Settings will open in the right panel.

Don’t see anything?

Try checking other sections of your Ordo to make sure you haven’t uploaded your file to another folder, such as My Hymns, My Instrumental Music, or My Antiphons.

4. Click Edit in the top-right corner next to Component.

   → The Upload Page will open.

5. Click + Add and select Add Custom Text from the dropdown menu.

   → A field will open up where you can write your translation.

6. Add a Title.

7. Type your translated text.

8. Click Back. This will bring you back to the Upload Page. This time, you will see your custom text under the Resources column.

9. Click Done to go back to your Ordo.
