Split a staff
I have a chorus score with 4 staffs (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) and only for one system I want to split for example the Tenor staff in two staffs (Tenor 1/Tenor 2) because of different rhythms. How could I do this? I just want to have it for one System and I don´t want both voices in one staff.

No need to split staff, just use http://musescore.org/en/handbook/voices

but if I want to split the staff, just for a better design, what should I do then?
In reply to but if I want to split the by kae
add an additional Instrument 'Tenor', place it under the current one. enter the notes, hide empty staves
Or select a measure, right click, split staff, select a split point. Then hide empty staves
I tried to split a chorus score into two staffs.

Which version of MuseScore? What operating system? Can you share the score?
In reply to Which version of MuseScore? by Jojo-Schmitz
I just installed MuseScore 2.0 yesterday.
I defined parts to find out if they were visible in different sheets. That works fine.
But I have al lot of scores in which both tenor voices are written in the upper bar, and the bariton and bass voices are written in the lower bar. For us (a male choir) that is a standard lay-out.
For practice purposes (for our choir members) it would be very helpfull if the 4 voices could be defined and exported, without having to paste and copy them into different bars.
So I tried to split a bar, but the system crashes.
I hope this answer is clear - i am trying to write in proper English - a bit difficult for a Dutch guy...

Confirmed, crashes for me too (MuseScore 2.0, Windows 7 Enterprise, 64bit)
Has that score been created from scratch in 2.0, or imported from 1.x?

I copied the file from MuseScore 1.3, and then opened it in 2.0.

Hmm, so far I can't reproduce with a plain 2.0 score
Could you also attach the 1.3 version of your score?

Of course!

OK, reported now in #52506: Split Staff on particular slur crashes MuseScore
Workaround might be to do the split in 1.3
In reply to OK, reported now in #52506: by Jojo-Schmitz
The problem sees to be the slurs - not sure why, but they are causing the crash. So another workaround could be to delete the slurs first, then split, then re-add the slurs.

Removing the slurs, split and re-add works.
When I leave the slurs in measure 3 and then try to split (default c3) it works fine.
When adding another slur somewhere else the split ends up in a crash again.
Leaving just the slurs in measure 3 and choosing a different split point results in the same crash.
Strange behavior!
By the way:
I used the split to find a way to seperate voices 1 and 2 into two bars / parts.
For that purpose the split functionality isn't the right one.
Is there another way?

Have you tried the explode tool? See http://musescore.org/en/node/42631#explode
In reply to Have you tried the explode by Jojo-Schmitz
Explode works on chords with multiple notes.
It doesn't work on measures containing single notes in 2 voices. Explode just copies voice 1 and voice 2 in both staffs below.
I guess the problem is that I cannot define a part to a voice, just to a staff. Or did I miss something?

Add a staff, and, using the selection filter, cut/paste voice 2 across, swap voice 2 and 1, cut the now voice 2 rests
In reply to Add a staff, and, using the by Jojo-Schmitz
I tried this procedure:
- I added a staff
- I selected one note in measure 2 (voice 2)
- Right-mouse click, Selection, More, Select same voice, select same bar, select replace selection, select OK
- All notes in the Tenor Staff are selected (green color)
- Edit > Cut (notes are replaced by rests)
But then what do I do?
Selecting a measure in the added staff and selecting Edit > Paste: nothing happens.
Where do I go wrong?

What you did selected the notes individually. You need to select the *range*, then use the selection filter (in View menu) to limit which voices are included.

Thanks - that works !!
