Herbert

Lateral thinking ! I love it.

In fact, I've already benefited from your pointer. A lot of my stuff has more than one voice on a stave, and that expectation (on Composer's part) can cause complications (rests all over the place, tails up and down, unnecessary ties)if at a particular time and place, you're actually wanting a single line/voice. But split hands, and you've got your single voice stave (for the moment - it easily gets confused again !)

Have you ever posted generally about your musical interests, Herbert ?
Or would you like to tell us a bit about what you're doing ?

Sincerely

Ian G.
