Dear Kim,

It's hard to know for sure without a few pictures of examples of what you would like to make, but it sounds to me like this sort of project would be best-handled by creating any number of individual score fragments, exporting them as SVG files, and combining them onto a page using a program like latex or typst.

Hello,

need some pointers for a score I wrote out by hand in 2017 for a small ensemble performance

the score is a collection of fragments on a single 17 x 11 inch page

it is divided into three sections -- each section lasted around 6 minutes & was conducted

my score contains no key signature, no time signature, mostly stemless note heads

each section contains a different number of measures

for example, in section one the euphonium part takes up one whole measure containing three whole notes (to be improvised on)

under that bar in section one a guitar has five bars with various fragments -- the end of which line up with the euphonium bar line above it

the organ under that has two bars again with varying amount of notes comprising fragments to be improvised upon

Is cadenza mode the right way tocreate staves of varying measures that all line up with a section end bar?

here's an ascii score fragment of what I'm trying to achieve - hope it comes through

euph    |     .  .    .   |

gtr       |....|...|..|..|..|

organ  | . .   | .    .  |

                              ^ end section #1


any examples or tips on ow to do this is appreciated
