Default Re: Adding a 2nd piece of music to the sheet.

Hi, John:

Composer isn't really intended to place multiple pieces in one file like that.

One work-around that comes to mind is to print off your first piece that ends one third of the page down, then set up the printed page of your second piece to start half-way down, by adjusting the top margin.

Then feed the last page of the first piece back into the printer and print the second piece. You should be able to print the second piece onto the last page of the first.

Many years ago, when I did my first full score for one of my musicals, I did it in a (DOS 3.1, that is, long before Windows) version of Personal Composer (not Notation Composer) as one long file that had each piece following successively. I had one heck of a time extracting each piece later and never made that mistake again.

Anyway, if you play with the margins of your print setup, you should be able to set it up to print part pages.

Good luck.

David
