Hi everyone,

I have a scanned score for voice&piano - so 3 staves altogether. I would like just the piano part to be played back when using the Play function in Photo Score, and also just the piano part to be saved into the MIDI file, when I use Save As. Double clicking on a staff's name, I see a Delete button for every staff, however it is greyed out. Can anyone help?

Many thanks!

The Rescore option in Photoscore (Notes > Rescore) allows you to select different instruments/staves, which in theory you could use to create an accompaniment-only version.

I say 'in theory' as I've always found this function to be very buggy, even in the latest Photoscore 7. In general, as soon I get rid of all bad timing errors I send the score to Sibelius and don't go near Photoscore again. It's much easier to select parts and get the outputs you need then. Obviously you may not have this option.
Sibelius 6.2, 7.5.1, Windows 11
