Using multiple Score windows
You can view and work in different parts of a movie at the same time by opening additional Score
windows. If your sprite spans occupy many frames in the Score, for example, you can open a
second Score window to work on another place in the movie without scrolling. You can also drag
sprites from one Score window to another.
To open a new Score window:
1 Activate the current Score window.
2 Select Window > New Score Window.
You can scroll in this window to a different location in the Score.
