The feature is next up after the iOS version is finished, along with things like chord grids for chord pro files.
I would say, if you have a group like that, use the sync library feature to merge to a cloud folder, and try to only push changes from one master device to keep everything clean. The other devices can pull changes, and optionally not sync things like annotations so each musician can have their own annotations. However, if you need each musician to be able to access a different version of each score, each musician would need to swap out the file in each song for the version they need. The sync feature would only then be able to be used to synchronize new songs, not existing ones, as otherwise you'd get conflicts on each device (change the merge behavior in the sync screen to only merge new songs).
Things are a little suboptimal at the moment for this kind of scenario. The features I've described are really needed for this. You can certainly get by with the current featureset, but as mentioned, there isn't a good way to handle synchronizing changes to existing songs in the library, and each musician wil have to set up their library differently to get the scores they need for their instrument.
