Wouldn't it be easier to do this in the Parts-Score, ie once, instead of
for every part?
In theory, perhaps. In practice, I don't trust Copy/Insert well enough. (It has
many bugs and omissions, even in Fin06 which I still don't use.) There are some
other obstacles as well,

Hi,
In some rare cases is better to make a super-score with all the parts in
separated staves. Then extract the parts, layout them and print them and
after that mix the parts creating staves with several instruments to make a
nice conductor's score.

Actually, Dean, if you haven't done much work on the files since

as Johannes suggested. I was under the impression that you had already

In addition to Brad's and Robert's examples, I'll add the following items which
