Was there any editing that you had done prior to adding the measures, or did you perhaps earlier add new staves, but then decide you didn't need/want them, or....?

Any additional information (or a copy of the "before" file) should help us figure this out

Thanks Sherry,

I did what you suggested and of course it worked fine.

Some background... I scanned a piano score sheet and converted it to a midi file which I then imported to NC. I then converted it to a piano grand staff in NC by adding braces to it.
Maybe this is where the problem arises. I haven't added or subtracted any staves previously as it's a 40 bar piece and that's it. However as the program doesn't seem to recognize D.C. da Fine, etc I decided to add a copy of the first 16 bars onto the end.
This brings me to another thing - I thought I would copy and paste the whole thing into a new piano score by region selecting and copying, a section at at a time and then doing the add measures thing. But would you believe it, the treble part gets copied but not the bass even though I had it selected.
Anyway, I don't have any before file, just the one I've been working on. So I've attached that along with the original midi file.

Many thanks for your help,
Ian
