How would this affect the lyrics? I wouldn't want _this on the treble too? Is 
it normal to have soprano and alto on the treble, and tenor and bass on the 
bass staff?

Thanks, looks like you'd saved me a lot of work!

Steph,

1. To produce a duplicate melody line on the Piano treble staff, simply 
select/copy the voice or voices you want from the choral staves and then 
paste onto the empty Piano treble staff.

2. Then if you want to fiddle and add other voices just follow the advice 
from Dan, below:

The recommended method for entering notes into a specific voice is this:

1. Navigate to the place where you want to start inputting notes.
2. Press the letter N (for November).
3. Hold down the alt key and press the number of the voice that you want to
enter notes into.
4. Enter notes in the normal way.

So, to create a passage where a whole note is held by the thumb whilst the
outer fingers play shorter notes, you would do the following:

1. Navigate to where the shorter notes begin.
2. Press the letter N.
3. Press Alt+1.
4. Input the shorter notes in the usual way.
5. Navigate to where the whole note begins.
6. Press the letter N.
7. Press Alt+2.
8. Input the whole note in the usual way.

This may seem more complicated than the other method but there are two
extremely important points to make.

1. This method allows you to enter more than one note into the lower voice.
2. This 8 step method is in fact the same 4 step method repeated twice.
Compare steps 1-4 with steps 5-8 and you'll see this.

One last point. It is extremely important that you press N to start note
input before pressing Alt+2. If you don't, you will move a voice 1 note into
voice 2.
