On Behalf Of Craig Parmerlee I think what I would like to do is to combine the same-family instruments (all the trumpets on one staff, e.g.). But I insist that each trumpeter (e.g.) gets only his/her own part. If I'm understanding you correctly, you'll want to check the *leave original

I typically do the score doubling up parts on staves as needed. If there are solos or unisons, I use note-attached exps to denote them. I used to use meas-attached, but since Tobias introduced Smart Part Extraction I use note-attached because SPE works so well with them. To extract the parts,

Yes, I was thinking mainly of wind parts. I've seen so many horrendous combined parts that I cringe when I see them. I understand that a string section is managed differently, and when there are divisi parts in cello, e.g., that is almost always vertical i.e. same rhythms, harmonized notes.
