Creating an opera score

• Jan 11, 2025 - 19:31

In creating and opera piano/vocal score you may have just the piano intro for a few pages, and then have a solo passage with piano, and then have half a page with two vocal parts leading to a trio of voices all with piano accompaniment with four bars of just piano in the bass. The formatting, as far as I can figure out, does not allow this as a continuous document. I realize you can format hiding unused lines but this does not solve the problem of switching from one solo vocal staff to two or more vocal staves without causing a lot of confusion. Is there a solution to this? Many thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply but this does not answer my question. On page one I want just the piano intro, on page two I want to add the vocal part mid way down the page to continue until page four where a new vocal line will be added with only piano accompaniment in the bass, etc. I don't see a way to do this without having all the staves visible from the beginning.
