Very complicated score (spartito molto complicato)

Good morning to you, wherever you are!
I wanted to bring the attached score to your attention. I'd like to transcribe it exactly as it appears. All the verses are sung by the Bars and the Basses, but the 1st and 4th start from the beginning, the 2nd and 3rd from the B section. Furthermore, from the D section, the 2nd and 3rd voices are T I and T II. Not to mention the Coda with accompanying markings.
I'm wondering if it's possible to transcribe and perform it as I present it. The most complicated issue for me with transcription is the numbering of the verses, but for performance, who knows...?
Thanks.
Lorenzo

Hm. When I studied computer science many decades ago, we learned about the "Turing machine"; and had to do exercises to compute sums of numbers, or counting 1s in strings etc. The challenge was to use a very (very!) limited set of commands to achieve somewhat simple effects - necessary for theoretical reasons, but quite strange and awkward.

Using NoteWorthy's flow control for somewhat complex verse structures notated for humans looks like a similar head-scratcher - albeit without the theoretical benefits. Nice like an afternoon's crossword puzzle, but ... why? But I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from trying  ;D

It's clearly a "paper saving" exercise.  :D
Reproducing the graphical appearance isn't so hard. I'd say almost easy.
Making NWC playing it as written...
I think the only way is to mute them all and add four more hidden staves written in a more standard way.  ;)

No, no, it's an exercise to test my ability to "stress" the program  :D (I never print the score). I have plenty of time. Sometimes I persevere, and with your help, I achieve something, even if not everything I set out to do. Other times, I quit the project prematurely, with no results. Bye Flurmy.
