Turning a lead sheet into a score.
I just downloaded a lead sheet from the website and would like to turn it into a score.
I think I did this in the past by copying the lead sheet and then pasting it into a new score.
I'm wondering if I can skip that step and just add staves with the assigned new instruments .
I can't seem to find out how to do this?

Reading the handbook might have spared you those hours, for a one-time investment ;-)

In this case it's even part of the very first thing one should read: Basics - Create a New Score

Some people work that way ..others jump in and learn on the fly. I started out 30 years ago on Encore then went to Finale. Produced reems of parts for a show band over 10 years but did it all in lead sheet form for multiple horns. . I got really good at formatting in Finale but never did it from a score which is what the manual said.
I am very grateful for the help I've received here. I'm reading the handbook now on extracting parts and I'm not getting it. Musescore is great and intuitive I'm now working with small ensemble scores . I'll look for some video tutorials .

I knew it was an easy answer that somebody could easily and quickly answer so it didn't take hours for me to look up. Christ ! I have an FAA A&P mechanics license . I know about manuals...so ..
Please chill on the condescension ;)

I guess I'm just sometimes surprised at people spending hours on not figuring out something and then often enough going "THANK YOU" when linked to the handbook entry. In some cases it is plain obvious where to look; in others (such as your question) it is not, because this isn't clearly listed in the handbook index, or one might not know the term to look for etc..
That's all fine; but most people that at the very least skim the handbook tend to have fewer questions afterwards as well. There is no condescendence inferred in stating this.
Now for your Parts issue, if you have indeed read the handbook entry and something about it is unclear; then by all means: do post your question so we can help you out further.
