Nor if you decide you want to change an instrument on a score.
I assume that you mean same staff, change to a different instrument,
perhaps change clef or transposition, rather than the scenario David
explained. I know it can be done, but not how because I haven't had
to learn it yet.
Either way. Seems like you can't do it easily in Sibelius. You have to
create a new staff and then copy all the stuff over? You can't just
click the staff and change it? Seems non-intuitive to me.
All notation is complex. (Don't forget that it was originally
developed by monks using feathers!!!) But any program has to deal
with those complexities. Some do it better than others, but I don't
EVER expect any programmer or team of programmers to come up with
exactly the same way of approaching things.
Well, ideally, they should have multiple ways of doing it. One path is
not always the best path. That is one thing that is great about Finale
is that it generally has a number of ways to do what you want it to do.
