I am using Windows 2003. I am engraving a piece right now that is presenting a problem I've never faced before. On the first two pages I am scoring the vocal parts (SATB) in open score. On the first system of the piece I want the full staff name for SOPRANO, ALTO, TENOR & BASS. On the next several systems I want the abbreviated staff names S., A., T. & B. Latter in the piece it changes to closed score (S. A. on one staff line and T. B. on another). Here I want the staff names to read S.A. on one stave and T.B. for the other. These two staves are the same Soprano and Bass staves which were used in the earlier open score sections. I have not found a way to enable all three synarios for staff names. The only solution that will work that I've found, which I really don't want to do, is to create extra staves. Use one stave for Sop. and another stave when Sop and Alto are together. The same would apply for Tenor and Bass. This means I have 6 staves for a four part piece. Is this the only solution or is there something out there I'm not aware of? Thanks to anyone who can help.
