Dan,
I don't recall ever seeing this "Include / exclude staves".
Is it in RC1? If so, I'll poke around in it the next time I've got it open.
Sounds useful.
...and thanks for the Dan-dy tip #29. But who's counting?
Dave

Actually, you can do this. It involves using one of the access plug-ins,
though I don't think I've written any documentation for this one and you
need to run it from the plug-ins menu.
I used the Bebop score to test whether this would work and it does. What I
did was copied the music from the trumpet and upright bass staves into the
piano staves. Here's the step by step.
1. Open Bebop.sib.
2. Navigate to the trumpet staff.
3. Press Ctrl+Home to select the first note/rest in that staff.
4. Press Ctrl+Shift+End to select to the end of the staff.
5. From the main menus choose Plug-ins > Access > Include / exclude staves.
6. The dialog which opens contains a list of all staves. You'll see that
each staff has the word "included" or "excluded" after it. Trumpet will be
the only staff that is included.
7. Arrow down to upright bass.
8. Tab to the change button and press it.
9. Upright bass will now change to included.
10. Tab to the close button and press it.
11. In the score press Ctrl+C to copy the music to the clipboard. (You could
do Ctrl+X if you wanted to cut and paste the notes.)
12. Navigate to the piano [a] staff and press Ctrl+Home to select the first
note/rest on that staff.
13. Press Shift+DownArrow to add the piano [b] staff to the selection.
14. Press Ctrl+V to paste the music from the two staves in the first passage
selection onto the two staves in the new passage selection.
15. The music in the piano staves will now be the same as that in the
trumpet and upright bass staves.
It's worth clarifying how this works. If you copy a passage selection to the
clipboard and then paste into another passage selection, the notes from each
staff in the first passage will be pasted into each staff of the second
passage. It doesn't matter if the staves in the first passage are further
apart or closer together than those in the second. All that matters is the
order of the staves.
Hope this helps,
