Turning several songs into one document.

Let's say I've created 10 separate pieces of music. Each a few pages long. Is there a way to combine them into one document? With the page numbers arranging themselves correctly?

If there is a way could you please tell me the steps?
Many thanks,
Tom

1. Make sure that all songs have the same instruments with the same names and in the same order.
2. Make sure each song ends with a final barline and the last bar is marked as a Section end (Use the inspector)
3. Open the first score
4. Use Append score to add the next song. Check that it has been added to the end of the first score.
5. Keep doing this until you have appended all the scores
6. Run the plugin "tidy appended scores". This will do all the cleaning up (page breaks, hiding key and time changes etc).
Check through to make sure it is as you want it. At this point you should check that page turns are OK etc.
