I have created two different "scores" out of one large one by using parts. When you do this each part can have its own spacing, etc. and you still have the advantage of one big score to get all the notes right, etc. I found it easy to work with.

All, I am working with a piece for mixed choir and orchestra. This is the first time I have this combination and I am not sure how to handle a piano reduction that I want to have with the choral score. I need to have this in the score while working with it, but when finalizing and printing the parts, choral score with the piano reduction and the full score I of course do not want to have the piano reduction in the final version of the "full" score. The most obvious way, I guess, would be to hide the piano reduction staves in the score prior to printing. But just use Staff Attributes and check "Hide staff" creates a hole in the score (if it is not on top or bottom) and I then need to rearrange the other staves which is not a straightforward thing, especially if you need to unhide the piano reduction staves again for additionali editing.. Another way would be to define a part with all parts except for the desired ones and use this as the full score. But I just have a feeling this won't be so easy to work with as a score.or am I wrong? Is there a more elegant and professional way of working with this? Using Fin2010 on Win.
