Two scores, side by side
Is it possible to view two scores at the same time; side by side.
Currently, they are in their own tabs. It would be great if they could be open for comparison with copy/paste functions.

I've read that it is possible to view two separate files, but it does not explain how.
I did find VIEW/DOCUMENTS SIDE BY SIDE, but this is only placing the same score "side by side". What am I missing?
I have two different scores I'd like to place size by side.

In each side, simply select the score you want to view, by clicking its tab or loading it normally (eg, via File / Open).

Can you explain it to me? I read the link to the Handbook and I still don't get it. Like you mentioned, it just said you can split the screen but does not explain how. I could not find any button for split screen in the Customize Toolbar menu.

Thank you for your quick response. I know I am completely missing some concept or step. My screen looks nothing like yours. I don't have those check boxes in my view menu.

There might not be physical checkboxes, but you certainly have “Documents side by side” there and you can click it. Not sure why you’re highlighting “Toolbars”, that’s not relevant and is possibly confusing you. Look further down, below Toolbars. “Documents side by side” is right there in your picture. Just click it. Our pictures are virtually identical except macOS doesn’t actually drawn the checkboxes.

Thank you. I'm slightly embarrassed for not seeing it. Actually, this happens a lot to me. I cannot see things right in front of my face. I apologize and thank you.
