creating Grand Score file from SATB

If you want it played on the piano, then create the instrument using the I key. This can be in a new file if you want. If you are creating it for a piano then copy the Soprano and Tenor parts to the piano in the proper staves. To select an entire part, select the first note or measure and press ctrl+shift+end.

To copy the Alto and Bass (one at a time), select the entire staff and exchange voices 1 and 2 using Edit->Voices->Exchange voices 1-2. Open the filter selector (F6) if not open already and remove the check from voice 1. Voice 2 notes should now be selected. Copy these (I would use ctrl+c), select the first note of the appropriate destination staff and paste. You will now have 2 voices on a single staff with the higher voice stems up and lower voice stem down.

If you used the existing score you can now use "i" to remove the extra staves and use Save as... to save it as a new file. If you want to rename the staves, you can double click a name and edit it.

Hi folks. I just read this comment, and as a new user myself I found myself with a similar issue. I write SATA attangements for a choir, and decided to use grand stave for a particular piece, since parts were coming in and out frequently, and felt it would be easier to read. The problem arose that I also create mp3 files for each part bringing each part up individually for rehearsal (about half the choir don't read music!). Then I discovered that the mixer does not allow you to separate voices on a stave. As far as I can see, this is only a problem with choral work. Does anyone know if this is possible, or am I doomed to write each voice on a separate stave?
