Thanks for the tip, i will try this. Another work around i was attempting to do is to adjust the page format so that as the staff appends to the next line , I would place the next instrument ... until i fit 8 staffs (staves?) on each page (and add a comment for each instrument) ...This is also tedious because the measures do not line up evenly. OTHERWISE, I love this SOFTWARE, it is easy to use and has a wonderful GUI. Thanks for making it available to us.
