IWBNI it were possible to explode music to a noncontiguous set of existing staves. As it is now, music may be exploded to a contiguous set of existing staves by selecting Existing Staves Starting With Staff on the Explode Music dialog box.

This feature could be implemented by added an option called Use These Staves to the Place Music Into section of the Explode Music dialog box. With the change, this section would contain the following controls:

-----------------------------------------------------
Place Music Into

( ) New Staves Added to Bottom of Score
( ) Existing Staves Starting With Staves |list box of staff names|
( ) Use These Staves: 12340000
-----------------------------------------------------

Alternatively, a new dialog box could be provided that would allow one to create a list of staves by using an Add and Remove button. The Choose Parts dialog box of the Document Setup Wizard could serve as a model.
