Add new staff, not instrument

• Oct 28, 2009 - 16:07

I need to add a new staff below the one that I have just populated with notes to continue the music. I have done that by adding an instrument but playback plays all the staffs (actually makes sense for a multiple instrument piece). I need it to play the first staffs I created then start at the beginning of the staff below. I don't see it in the documentation and a search on the forums didn't bear any fruit. That usually means it is so stupid simple nobody else had to ask. I apologize in advance. This is how I created the first staff:
Create new score.
Keyboards, piano
C Major, A Minor Score
Time Signature 4/4
Measures: 6

WARNING!!! I'm not a musician, barely read music (as of about a week ago). Just trying to take some hand written music and get it into this program.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

What you want t o do is to add more measures to an existing staff. To do that go to create/measures/append measures menu and click. This will bring up a dialog box which you can set to the number of measures you want to append. it will then append them to the current instrument staff., auto wrapping as needed.

Keith,
Aaaaaaarrrrrrrgggghhhh!!! I was hoping (beyond hope) it was not that stupid simple. I tried that but by choosing 6 measures then appending measures it looked like it was just going to keep shrinking the measures. Now that you have revealed the secret I just kept adding measures and it finally wrapped then when I add notes the measures expand accordingly.

Thanks so much for the quick reply.
