Piano piece, all systems had been previously optimzied: Mass select all of top staff (page or scroll view), '2' meta-key to expand. (Settings for expand: to 2 staves, 1 note each staff, extra notes in bottom, new staves created below existing ones). Do expansion. Instead of now having 4 staves, I end up with the existing lowest stave containing what should of gone into the new stave and the extra notes are nowhere to be seen. When I remove optimization from the systems, everything works as I thought it should - two top staves are the orignal, no change, 3rd staff has one note per beat, the 4th staff has 1 or more notes per beat. I usually don't mess with optimized systems and thinking about it, this 'bug' sort of makes sense. Can you in fact not expand staves within optimized systems?
