Dear Edward, Upon assuming that I could still use the IMSLP iPad app to take to a rehearsal, I loaded a new score in and started working with it; after a few minutes the app has basically disabled itself with an unfriendly message “This version of the app is no longer supported.

The numbering of Schubert's symphonies is a little perverse, but there's plenty of versions of no. 9 around (that is, the C major from March 1828, D 944).

I'm sure there is a good reason why the second bass part is under the first choir, and the first bass part with the second Davydov, vocal range. The ‘bass’ voice of the first chorus is more like a low tenor part in range, given the clefs. The second bass part on the other hand is a real bass part. ...
