Muse - load the piece in. Get 5 staffs by default. Select Staffs menu; Staffs setup which gives you a dialog box with one column for each part. Running down the rows:
* Show Part: Leave it alone - it will be pre-selected for the first five columns and off for the rest since those parts are currently empty. * Show on staff: Enter (across the columns) 1 1 2 2 3 (or whatever assignments you want) * Editable: You can leave this alone for now (I'll come back to it in a moment) It will be showing all parts as editable. * Tails Auto/ Tails Up/ Tails down (the next three rows). It will be showing all "auto" meaning high notes down low notes up. You can leave this alone too (I'll come back to that too). * Play Notes: Leave alone (all selected so that if you "Play" the piece all parts will play). * Play chords: Ditto - any "guitar" chords will play in all parts. Select OK and the box will redisplay but with alterations in those areas that I said I'd come back to. You cannot have two parts per staff with "auto" tails - they must be one up and one down, but you can choose which, and you cannot have them both editable at once (editable via GUI that is), so it will change it to become: 1 up, 2 down, 3 up 4 down 5 auto 1, 3 and 5 editable, 2 and 4 not editable. If you're happy with that, select OK again and it's done. Note that this setup is not saved in ABC format (but of course is if you save as a Muse file).
