Re: Buttons on different staffs
You can also "solo" multiple staves by clicking on the Solo buttons for each staff you want to hear.
(Hmm. If you solo two staves, are you actually "duetting" them?) ;)
Good luck.

Re: Opera with notation composer! Really!
Bravo, Tim!
Very impressive accomplishment!
I'd love to see a few pages from your score, just to see how you use Composer to handle the task.
Congratulations.

Re: Exodus Duet
Always loved that music.
And beautiful Jill Hayworth gets killed at the end -- of the movie, not your music!

Hi, Jerry:
I had a quick look at the .ins file you uploaded.
While it loads and imports into Composer, I suspect there are weird things happening in it.

Re: More formatting woes
Hi,
The idea behind the page layout mechanism was to have Composer lay things out the way it thinks they best fit the page, then allow the user to move things as they wish to satisfy their need.

The Clavinova rendition is so close to real that I would have sworn it was played by a full band.

Re: Metronome volume changing
Hi, Blane:
I can't find any problem with metronome volume in what you posted, but it did contain only one staff. Was that intended?

Re: "international character" not sticking
Hi, OrganGeek:
You should be able to enlarge any kind of text simply by clicking on the larger "A" icon in the text tool bar (or type Ctrl+NumberPad"+").
Good luck.

Re: Repeat Measure Symbol
Hi, Ralph:
Not totally satisfactory, but, as you are using separate "print" and "performed" drum notation staves, you could make up a repeat bar symbol using free text, with a period, a backslash...
