Changing from 2 staves to 1.

I am writing out piano music (including lyrics) which go from two staves ti one staff during the course of the piece. How can this be acheived effectively on Noteworthy Composer v.1.7 ?

This is not supported. I would suggest dividing the song into two pieces, one with 2 staves and the other with one.

You can use the new 1.70 line break facility to get the first piece to finish at the end of the page. To do this, you insert a bar line at the very end of the piece, give it the Section Close style, and set the Force System Break option. This looks wrong on the screen, but is correct in the printout.

On the second piece, use the Page Setup dialog to turn off Title Page Info on the Options tab. If you are doing measure numbering, you can set the starting measure number on the same tab. And you can hide the leading time signature.
