Thanks for that, Ryan. This is very good info for another occasion. The only tricky business is the large number of a2 sections. They show up only in one voice as they're entered in only one layer.
This is an older score from 2000 imported into F2011 for publication, and I need all new parts. I tend to leave my own stuff in "premiere performance" condition until it's actually asked for again ... a fairly rare occurrence. :) Dennis On Fri, August 24, 2012 5:37 pm, Ryan wrote: > Yeah, might be easier to just extract those parts into a separate document. > BUT, there is a way to do it, assuming the score is set up correctly. > Generate a new part.
