Movements
Does anyone know how to put multiple movements on one score? I am writing a transcription of Malcolm Arnold's "Four Scottish Dances" for concert band, and it would be nice to put all four movements on the same score.
UPDATE: I forgot that in Movement II, there is an eighth-note pick-up beginning the movement. If I do what Marc said below, and use a Section Break for each movement, is there a way to insert this pick-up measure?

Easiest way is to add Section Break (from Breaks & Spacer palette) to the end of each. This guarantees a line break, resets so that a new clef, key, or time signature does not produce a courtesy element at the end of the previous movement, etc. Aside from that, there's really nothing you'd need to do.

Thanks Marc!

It does? I don't see that happening. I added a section break, but there was no new line or resets of anything. I guess more precise instructions would help. I've been searching for more instructions for this but get nothing very precise.

Example:
If you have 50 blank measures, place a section break at measure 25.
You'll get a line (system) break, a pause during playback, a measure numbering reset, and no coutesy clef or courtesy key signatures if you create a change at the beginning of the new section..

A pickup measure is just an ordinary measure whose "actual duration" has been set to soemthing shorter than nominal in "measure properties". So yes, start with a reghular measure, then shorten it. Also maybe while you're there exclude it from the measure count. Section break should also automatically restart measure numbering at 0.
Another method is to create the movements separately, the use the Album feature (see Handbook) to combine them later.
