[Finale] Sibelius: joining files

[Andrew Stiller]

Can anybody help me with this? The "piano reduction" referred to is 
actually a piano-vocal reduction from a chorus-and-orchestra score 
made with Sibelius. In the original score, each mvt. is a separate 
file. For printing purposes, it is essential that the reduced score 
be a single file. Lorenzo Sorbo (quoted below) currently has separate 
files for each mvt. of the reduction, w. different vocal forces (and 
therefore different numbers of staves) in the various mvts. I asked 
him to add as many staves as necessary so that all files would have 
the same number of staves, then join them all and optimize out the 
empty staves wherever required. He now tells me Sibelius can't do 
this! Can anybody advise a workaround?

Lorenzo and I have been working on this project for 2 years, but I am 
getting more and more frustrated and am just about ready to throw up 
my hands.

Hi Andrew,

I tried to put the piano reduction in a single .sib file but I 
failed. As you suggested I increased the number of staves to match 
with the score to be appended, but I didn't count a problem. When a 
score has ,i.e. 6 staves and the next one 3, I can't delete the 
staves to match the layout. I know this is a Sibelius limit, but can 
you also try on your PC ? Tell me if I can send you the separate 
parts.
Please let me know

yours,
Lorenzo
