I have combed the User Guide and Forums for hours but can't seem to do this simple thing. I'd like to make a piece of music suitable for rounds. This involves having 3 individual sections, not tied to the others, but "stand-alone" on the page. For example:
Section 1. Four bars. Four-part system.
Section 2. Four bars. One line.
Section 3. Four bars. One line.
All sections happen to have the same key signature and time signature. But I want them to be independent of each other, not connected. I tried copying the first section and then removing unneeded staves, but it removed them from Section 1 also. Any ideas out there?
How to create independent sections in same song

You can't do it in 2012. In 2010, you could remove individual staves, but that was removed in 2011 in PrintMusic, and now in the newest SW. Unless you can get an older version, you're stuck.
Your only choice is to export the pieces as graphics, and paste them back onto one page. No playback, of course.

Larry,
Again, I apologize. I thought SW had the ability to export graphics. I just checked, and I was wrong.
Do you need to do this often enough to warrant an upgrade to PrintMusic? Or, if this is the only time you think you will want this feature, download the PM demo. You can use it for 30 days.
