Paul,

I don't really get what you are trying to do. Why wouldn't you want a page number to show up on all parts?

I hope you are using the Text tool (looks like a capital A) in page view, and using the Insert... command from the menu for the page number for this. If you use it in scroll view it attaches to the staff, and if you use the expression tool it attaches to the staff, too. You want to attach to the page. You then set the properties to show from page 2 on (so it doesn't show up on any title page.)

If there is some non-standard situation where you don't want this page number to show up on one or more parts, then hide it (right click, select Hide) while you are in the part.

Orchestral score using linked parts.
Flutes 1 and 2 form a group.

If I add text (e.g., page numbers) to flute 1, it shows up in flute 2 but not the other parts (which are, of course, not part of the flute group).

I've read the manual and looked at the Quickstart Videos, but obviously I've missed something basic here. How can I add text to one part of a group without adding it to the other part(s) of the group?

My workaround is to add the page number as an expression in the part.

Please CC your reply to my address as I'm on the digest and may not receive your reply for another 24 hours.

Thanks very much.
