Hi, Mark! Here is one way I can see to put together the separate pieces using the wizard tool.
1. select the document style you want to use such as handwritten or engraved, click next and; 2. select chorus/ soprano, click add, then, 3. select keyboard, with or without staff name, click add, save this layout as a template in the template folder, click next, and 4. continue with the remainder of your preferences for this composition and you should have a template for future use. The template will show up in the wizard and in your template folder for future use. I think there are others in the discussion group who will have elegant solutions, also. Does this help?
