Greetings All!

I have a 3-stave score which I want to label Cello A, Cello B and Double Bass. For some reason whatever I enter as the middle stave’s name gets copied to the bottom stave. If I edit that name, it gets copied to the middle stave. Can someone come to my rescue?

I recall having seen this before here on the Forum (or maybe the old Forum). Can you post a sample of your problem file for us to examine?

Thanks, Zuill. Hopefully I'll manage to attach the first 5 bars...

Well, I've solved the problem by creating a new file and pasting everything into it from my earlier file. The stave names are now working as would be expected. But it would still be good to know why I had the earlier problem!
