Sometimes you may want to clone (copy) an entire staff, such as to back up a staff before you experiment with some new musical ideas for that staff. Or, you may want to make a copy of a recording "take" before you record a second take.The procedure for cloning a staff is simple.

To create a new staff as a copy of another:

1.	If the staff controls are visible, then click the Staff Selection button to select the first staff:

2.	Choose the Clone Staff command from the Staff menu.

-- OR --

Type "qct" for Quick Clone Staff.

Composer will display the Clone Staff dialog box.

3.	In the Clone Staff dialog box, confirm the staff you selected in step #1.

-- OR --

Select a staff that you wish to copy.

4.	If you are cloning the staff for backup purposes, then you will likely want to mute the newly cloned staff. See Muting and Soloing Staves for instructions.
