    I didn't know this was a thing.

    Apparently, there are editions of the WTC that break down the fugues into individual voices, for the sake of practice.

    A three part fugue will have three staffs (staves?), for example.

    You can download them from here: https://open.uct.ac.za/handle/11427/13106

    Here's the C-major fugue from book 1:

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Nice! But not very good for sight-reading, I guess.

      I've seen other scores which use colors to designate voices.

        I was thinking the same thing. Supposedly, it's a good way to learn the music (theory wise), but, I also question its utility for actually playing the music. For example, there's so much going on between hands that relying on only one staff would be limiting.
