Changing a member's voice pitch
Correct or assign voice pitches — and why the right voice decides what someone gets to hear.
Web + app
In cori, a voice pitch is more than a note in the member list: it controls which practice track is highlighted during playback, which sheet music is shown, and which voice chat someone ends up in. A voice set wrongly is therefore noticed pretty quickly.
Every member can change their own voice pitch at any time. Changing someone else's voice takes a choir director or admin.
Changing a member's voice
Go to Choir. Members are grouped by your choir's voices — anyone without one is listed separately.
Tap or click the ⋮ next to the name.
Select the appropriate voice and, if your choir splits it up, the divisi part. Only the voices your choir has set up under Choir settings›Choir voices are on offer. The change applies immediately, for the person concerned too.
Assigning voices after a reorganization
If you change how your choir is split up under Choir settings›Choir voices, from SATB to SSAATTBB for instance, some members' previous voice no longer fits. cori then asks you in the Assign new voices step where they should move to. If you don't know yet for everyone, choose Assign later: those members keep their previous voice for now, and you catch up on the assignment later via the member list as described above. More on this under Changing your choir settings.
Changing your own voice
You don't need the member list for this: open Choir›Settings — right at the top you'll find Your voice part; you apply the change with Save. Handy if you sing tenor in one choir and bass in another: a voice pitch only ever applies to the choir in question.
What the voice pitch changes
- During playback your voice is highlighted, with the others sitting quieter underneath.
- You're shown the sheet music for your voice part.
- You end up in the matching voice chat.
- Shared annotations reach you when they're meant for your voice part.
If you don't know yet where you belong, you can have the app work out your vocal range — see Finding your vocal range.
