Hello everybody,

I have may'be a simple beginner problem.

I have a "partitur" with a guitar, but I will change the instrument to e.g. piano.
How I have to do this ? I didn't find anything about it.

THX for your answer.

Regards,
Patrick

Try this:

Select ALL on your top stave by triple-click. Copy it with Ctrl/C. Delete it all (and the stave).

Create new instrument (corresponding to the one you've just deleted). Care to untick Create in Default order. Click in the score where you want this stave to be - obviously under the remaining one.

This should create a stave in the required position. Now Paste (Ctrl/V) in the first bar. Bingo!

THX a lot Terry,

that was what I'm looking for.

But now I have a new small problem,
see the new topic.
