Sibelius beginners can discuss all things Sibelius here ("how do I...?").

Hi

I am evaluating Sibelius 2 since I read we can merge two staves into one.

Then I
- selected the second staff
- swapped voices 1 and 2 of this selected staff (it turned green)
- ALT+click on the first staff (above) to copy voice2 on staff 1

BUT instead of ONLY copying voice2 on staff1 it also ERASED voice1 of staff 1.

To summ up, ALT+CLICK copy ALL the voices and then erases the existing voices (if any) on the target staff

I am sure there is a way to only copy one voice from one staff to another but how please ?


thanks

Cyril

I found out how to do it:

- Select bars with the voice you want to select
- (temporarily swap voices if you want, say, to copy voice 1 into voice 2 on another staff)
- Use Filters to select only the voice you want to copy
- Alt + click in the staff where you want to copy the voice in.
- (swap voices back in original selection)
