Charlie,

I don't want to belabor this, but I'm still not getting it. In your example you are taking the breakdown of the individual styles that make up a multi style. I'm pretty sure that if you have chosen the multi style itself as opposed to the individual constituent styles, what is part a and b in the individual constituents is now a, b, c, d, e, f, g and h in the 8 part multi style +.

I getting the impression that you are regarding this as changing styles within a single multi style+ file, not two multi style + files. That is why I am thinking that as in my original example I can't use the a part from the _stunner+.sty and the a part from the _wanted+.sty in the same SGU song ... and why I said that apparently changing from one multi style + to another in the Bar Settings does not change the same part, a to a, that goes with the changed style.

What I was trying to do is use 2 multi style + and I assumed that the part instruction in the bar settings would properly select and change the a to f parts congruent with each multi style + parts.

That hasn't worked. Possibly I need to add part identifiers to the different styles and somehow designate the a from one of the styles as some other part for that song?

I'm going to forego the arm chair theoretical for now and go dig in the program again and see if I can incorporate what you've presented to a satisfactory result.

Help! I've fallen up and can't get down!
