I have a large file with one staff of exercises in it. After many different exercises, I need to have a new exercise with two staves in a system - like a piano system. I know I can make a double staff system for the whole file and hide one of the staves except for this one small section. Is there a better way where I add a second staff for twenty or so measures, then go back to one staff per system?

Thanks.

No. You have to start with all of the staves that you will need, and then you hide them where you don’t want them to show.

You can add it and immediately hide it, then unhide where you need it.

OK. That's what I thought.

Thanks.
