I already have three separate documents...any suggestions on how to blend them back into one?
Thanks so much.

This assumes that the instrumentation remains constant between all 3
movements.
1) enter the music for the first movement, (complete with key changes,
meter changes, etc).
2) enter the music for the second movement, (complete with key changes,
meter changes, etc).
3) enter the music for the third movement (complete with key changes,
meter changes, etc).
4) use the measure tool, click on the first measure of the 2nd movement,
and check the box for Start New System, and then also set Time Signature
and Key Signature to Always Show.
5) repeat step 4 for the first measure of the 3rd movement.
6) define your measure number ranges such that the first range covers
the first movement, the second range covers the second movement with the
first measure defined to be 1, same for the third movement. This
assumes that you don't need additional measure number ranges within each
movement to account for 1st/2nd endings, partial measures, whatever.
It's really easy.
