Hi David and Don,
I thought of both of your suggestions while I was enduring this problem, as
in, copying the full score file and taking out what I needed. I do my
condensed score (although I despise them) with the solo line, saxs,
trumpets, trombones, and rhythm, equaling a 5-staff system, with two systems
on each page. Anyhow, what seemed to be making it catch was the human
playback, so I just turned that off, then it worked fine. I don't mind if
the HP doesn't work on a condensed score; I DO want it to work on full
scores, and of course that already does -- so now I know what to do for the
future.
DAVID: I've inserted the signature on both scores and at the bottom of all
parts...its being put to good use, and it will always be! Thanks again!

Hi Patrick,
I'm not sure what all needs to be done for your condensed score. Seems
it
might help if you tried doing a 'save as' of the complete score and
move/combine things as needed for your new file. At least the solo would
be
in place, and if the full score plays back, chances are this new file
should
as well.
I agree that using a copy of the score and then editing the copy would be
the best for a condensed score.
Of course, there are different sorts of condensations, so it may or may
not be possible to do what Patrick wants using the built-in tools.
If Patrick is looking for a condensed score where there is the solo line,
then all the saxes on one staff, all the trumpets on a second staff, all
the trombones on another, then using the built-in tools would work fine to
end up with a condensed score.
If on the other hand he wants to end up with a piano/solo score, I think
that would have to be done by hand, but it could still be done using a
copy of the existing score, maintaining playable as the work went along.
