Hi I'm still having problems. I had no problem pasting the soprano on my piano treble stave, and the bass on the piano bass stave. However, I selected my alto part, but when I pasted that it overwrote my soprano part. Same with the tenor. I tried selecting voice 2 and pasting, with the same result. Thanks for any help.
