Maximum number of staffs

Is there a limit of the number of staffs which can be added?

I'm working on a score for symphonic band, which now contains 63
(yes, sixty-three) stafflines.
It includes also layered and hidden staffs, which explains the large number.
Now trying to add another staff, but this seems to be not possible.

Thanks!

You can have up to 255 staves in a NWC score, but only 64 of them can be included in the visible score (File, Page Setup, Contents) at any given time. I would be surprised if you could even print this many staves at once, even with layering.

Many thanks for the clarification.
Indeed it is maybe too ambitious, trying to simplify/reduce the score.
