Temporary change of staff group

I am rewriting a part for 1st and 2nd clarinets. Most of the music is written on single staff systems using voices to depict the different clarinet parts. Some sections, however, are so different that it was found to be better to use a bracketed two staff system. These occur sporadically throughout ...

Multiple note corrections (editing)
