Concatenating parts
Is is possible to combine parts from different compositions into one file? My MD has me transcribing some pencil sketches for keys and choir; now he wants all the vocal parts combined onto one sheet. (I have feeling it's going to run over; but I might be able to make a double-sided sheet out of it.)
Thanks.

I'm not familiar with this usage of "MD" (where I come from, that means medical doctor), but you can add more instruments (see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/create-new-score-0#instruments-and-vo…) and copy and paste.
Or, if these are supposed to go consecutively, rather than simultaneously, add more measures to the end (see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/measure-operations-0#append) and copy and paste.
Another possibility for the music director's (MD) request...
If the pencil sketches were entered as separate files in MuseScore, they can be combined onto one score by joining.

Thank you, jm6stinger; that just might work. I'll have to try that.

Thank you again. That turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Worked perfectly, having saved off the vocal parts as separate files. Only had to tweak the margins to make them fit on two pages (which I trust the music director will be able to duplex-print).
My apologies; I presumed that MD would be understood here to be "music director."
I had a problem even within the same file of copying a sequence where three measures had each been altered from the nominal time signature to accommodate unmetered liturgical music; when I copied the fragment, it didn't copy the changes to the time signature alterations; it merely copied the notes from the altered measures into whatever string of 4/4 it took, which was not at all what I expected or wanted. I guess I'll just export the parts to PDF and assemble them in Photoshop.

No need for that. Just reproduce the sequence of time signatures before copying.
