Sarah, My mistake on a plug-in. I'm pretty sure there was one in Sib3, but it's not in the collection distributed for Sib 5. However in the Create/text/special text menu you'll find a couple multi-rest items there. Hope one of these work for you.

As for the rest there was no pluggin to do that to my knoledge.. -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Carlson Sent: Saturday, February 06, 2010 10:01 PM To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sib-access] Re: [Bulk] Extracting parts Sarah, As for multi-bar rests, you can select the range, then use one of the plug-ins to generate them. I don't remember exactly how we did them in Sib 3, but vaguely recall something in the print dialog for printing separate parts. That's all different now in Sib 5. As to printing selected staves, I think you could just hide the staves you don't want to print and that should do it. Give it a try.

How do I do this in sib 5? I fiind no extract in the files menu. Is this impossibal, also will it have for example that thing where it will say the number of rests so that you don't' hae to count them I remember doing something like that in sib 3. Take care.
