Tourist information
Hello,
I'm translating a tourist document which gives details of a singing competition.
Les auditions sont ouvertes aux chanteurs solos, duos, groupe vocaux, munis d’un support musical.
I'm not sure whether "support musical" means sheet music or musical accompaniment..
Thanks,
Anne

(instrumental) accompaniment
Another, very general option. To me, this is vague enough that it could include both recorded and live instrumentals.

: can't agree with this, because the FR may well mean "with sheet music"

maybe so, but the reference in the ref box doesn't mean sheet music.//Well I also suggested "backing" below..

recorded backup music
Seems most likely to me, but the phrase may be catch-all.

: I think you're right about the probable meaning but "backup music" isn't the idiomatic phrase to use//ah OK, it's US-only then. Doesn't sound right to my UK ears.

: back-up doesn't work for me either :-) And who said anything about "recorded"??:-)

Actually my answer was more to remind people that it could likely be recorded music - in the kind of TV-inspired competition that this may very well be, that is the norm. As for "back-up music", google finds eight hundred hits on uk sites.

instrumental backing
An "answer-like" version of what I waffled in the discussion section. Just including this as an alternative option (I think the distinction between vocal and instrumental is important here; it's not backing singers we're talking about).

well, here it = musical support in the sense of groups of young musicians/people..
