If you don't want to do that, you can enter them on their separate staves, using layers anyway.
Example: flute 1 (staff 1, layer 1) flute 2 (staff 2, layer 2) oboe 1 (staff 3, layer 1) oboe 2 (staff 4, layer 2)
Then to combine them into a single staff, simply check the Show Active Layer Only under the VIEW menu, switch to layer 2, then copy flute 2 music onto the flute 1 staff, and copy the oboe 2 music onto the oboe 1 staff (repeat for all your double instruments), then UNcheck the Show Active Layer Only and you should see both layers in the flute 1 staff.
You will then need to change the staff names and positions and delete the extra staves.

The piano reduction plugin combines staves unintelligently. Expressions are poorly placed, articulations are not carried over to the combined staff at all, there may be many other issues..
I want to input a large score with about 7 pairs of parts, such as Flute 1+2, Clarinet 1+2, Bassoon 1+2, etc. These are all to be separately inputet on their own staves. How can I combine them accurately in pairs of two's with the least amount of work? Instead of 14 staves I want 7, but I prefer to input them one staff at a time, for extraction purposes later on. Sort of like TGTools smart part explosion but in reverse.
Is there a smart part 'implosion'? Suggestions? Wisdom?
Many thanks, Liudas
