I have a score for SATB.
The first 25 bars everyone sings in unison.
The 2nd part of the score the voices sing in 4-part harmony.

To preserve space, reduce visual cluter and save ink & paper when printing the full score...how can I create single unison stave for the first 25 bars in the full score and then thereafter have the full score show 4 staves (1 stave each for SATB)????

Create 5 staves, SATB plus one for the combined voices, perhaps naming the staff as ''Choir". Then input all the notes and finally use 'Hide Empty Staves'. You'll have to do a little work on the layout to ensure that the combined sections finishes with a line break, and maybe indent the start of the next system to allow for the staff names.
