I have to my right hand "Hymns and Modern, New Standard" and behind me "Songs of Praise, New Standard". Both of these use separate voices for Sop and Alto; Tenor and Bass. I strongly believe this is the best way of setting 4 part voice - merging the notes into chords is just wrong, IMHO - it can confuse which voice is singing which part. What happens when the voices cross? FWIW Elaine Gould agrees with me: "Ideally each voice takes separate stems". This rule is only broken in her view where space is limited.
