I have some false characters floating throughout my score. I have a two-stave system for handbells in my choral piece, and the later pages had Hb. abbreviated identifications in earlier iterations of my composition. However, these have somehow become displaced, and now appear in scattered wrong locations. I cannot select these Hb. characters. They will not copy into other measures. I have tried deleting the first page Handbells identification, but the false Hb. characters remain scattered through the score.

What can I do to delete these? Thanks for your help.

LATER this afternoon:

I think I've got it! I added a new handbell grand staff to my score, copied all my music to the new staves, and then deleted the old one. All the false characters went away into the electronic ether . . . .

This kind of thing happens from time to time. You found the best solution.

Thanks, Bob! For once, I fixed something myself . . . .
