STATUS: The affected crew has tried the revised procedure under ordinary working conditions. The current rule remains in force at the public chorus steps in the Hall of Echoes.
RECORD: The hall’s rehearsal schedule and the chorus’s shared verse book. This file counts 14 ward groups represented at open rehearsals; the prior count was 13.
DISPUTE: The music steward wants one agreed version for the annual ceremony; singers say variants are part of the record, not errors.
WHY IT MATTERS: The decision concerns whether the city can preserve a shared chorus while allowing each ward to keep its own verses. The current count does not settle how the rule should allocate the cost.
NEXT: The next rehearsal will mark shared lines and ward-specific verses separately. The clerk has marked the file STONE-CHORUS-08 for the next public review.
