Not so. Sibelius remembers which staves were being shown when you turn focus on staves off. To show those staves again, press Escape before turning focus on staves back on.

I think using the hide or show commands as I described, may be more efficient in some cases. This is because, the focused staves get forgotten if you select anything else after going out to full score.

I will likely use it, though. Is the "Focus on staves" command of Sibelius ever useful to you. Just curious. -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kevin Gibbs Sent: Saturday, January 30, 2010 1:33 PM To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [[SPAM]] - [sib-access] Working with large scores - Email found in subject I don't know how many of you guys ever write for full orchestra. I'm working on something and I've discovered something very obvious but cool. when working on large scores, the hide or show empty staves in the layout menu can be very useful. Let's say that you have a section you're working on where there are bits of every orchestral section with some notes in them but not every staff in each group has music. Select a bar in that section that has all the instruments you want shown and choose hide empty staves. Now, and here's the fun part, as you go along and discover that you need one more staff that was previously hidden, using the show empty staves command will yield a list of all your choices. simply select one more staff, and it is added to the staves you see on screen. This dramatically lessens the amount of vertical moving you have to do in your large score to write what you need. I'm sure some of you already knew this and some others have no use for it. But I thought it was a cool thing. K.
