Hi to everyone!

I'm having problems while selecting two or more staffs in my orchestral scores. It turns out, if I hide an instrument that in the score it's written in between the two that I intend to copy, it also selects the hidden one and subsequently, copies it. Another issue that I'm having is that when I, for example, have copied two staffs (which are one directly above the other) and I want to paste it, if theres a hidden instrument between the two staffs that I'm pasting to, the hidden staff unhides so I have to hide it again. Is there a workaround to this?

Thanks in advance!

With regard to your first issue, select the bars in one staff that you want to copy, [ctrl]-click on the other staff and then copy. Those bars will paste into two consecutive staves in your score - provided you have selected them first.

I don't think there's a workaround for your second question.
