Hey thanks for the help. Ok so I just update the notes in the example wight he 
notes int eh exercise my teacher gave me and I could if I wanted to put a 
divici in each part if I wanted them to split? I don't think  they will need to 
split that much I don't want to create a violin 2 staff just for a couple of 
parts lol! but if I do do I update that bottom part with violin 2? I'm trying 
to go off of what I read in the tutorial. I"m sure I will have all of this 
stuff memorized. it's just like learning html lol!

Take care all and be blessed.
