I don't believe that's possible. But a possible workaround is to add an extra staff in the score order required for that system, and for that system only move the notes from the main staff for the instrument to this auxiliary, out of order staff. Make sure everything is moved so that the original staff for that instrument is totally empty, then use the "hide empty staves" command (optimize, if you're using Fin2011 or earlier). Drag the visible but out of order staves so they line up appropriately and you should be able to show what your client wants. It should work, and in my quick test it does work fine. The only problem will be the linked parts, so this is a case where for at least that instrument where you need to correct the part to show all the notes on a single staff you'll most likely have to extract that part and correct it in the extracted part file. Example - brass quintet where for one system the tpt2 and hrn parts need to be reversed: original score: tpt 1 tpt2 hrn tbn tba new version: tpt1 tpt2 hrn tpt2 tbn tba I just tried it with this brass quintet example and it worked for me -- I hope it'll work for you. -- David H.
