So...I have an orchestral score...2 flutes, 2 oboes, etc. In the final conductor score I want both flutes on 1 staff, both oboes on 1 staff, etc. Should I work w 2 separate flute staves and combine them later, or is it better/easier to write both flute parts on 1 staff and separate later?
Thanks,
Dennis

It depends on the parts. If the (say)two flute parts never cross and have similar rhythms, then I say write them on the same line from the beginning.

To make a staff go smaller than other staves, choose Home > Instruments > Add or Remove,
select the staff in question in the Staves in score list, and switch on the Small staff checkbox,
then click OK.
By default, small staves are 75% of normal size, but you can adjust this on the Staves page of
Appearance > House Style > Engraving Rules (shortcut Ctrl+Shift+E)
