Karl, Figure on having 2 versions of your score, one for the conductor and one for parts. I do this all the time. Make sure all proofs and revisions are complete in the main score, which would be the one that contains the doubles. Then Save As and make this the part score. Add the appropriate staves and, as Chuck suggested, use TGTools to split out the doubles. Then extract the parts. HTH *************************** J.D.
