Merging and unmerging two lines of the same intrument

• Nov 19, 2017 - 02:08

If I wanted to split a two player solo into two separate lines on the partition, like the image I uploaded, how would I go about doing that on Musescore?

I think you mean you have two instruments on the same line and want to split them into two lines. If this is the case, you will want to use explode.

There is a limitation on this that will cause difficulties. It will only "explode" voice 1, if you have two voices at spots in the score, you will need to delete the unneeded voice. For the instrument that uses voice two you will then need to exchange voices 1 and 2 in these sections so you can delete the voice 2 rests that will remain. There may also be some other minor adjustments necessary, such as keeping the dynamics on the correct instrument.

If the question is how to have two staves for part of the piece but only only one staff for the rest, the answer is create it as two staves, enter the notes, then use Style / General and the "hide empty staves" option.
