Crescendo Music Writing Software.

As per the title above, does anyone use this?
I've used it a long time ago and am in the middle of copying a tune onto it but can't find a way to access a single stave.
It insists on loading a double (or more) staves linked together.
I only need the melody line and chord symbols so, one stave at a time.
If anyone can help I would be most grateful, thanks.

Musescore is getting more and more popular. A few years ago I ditched a Sibelius subscription for Musescore and Musescore has only improved since then. As I understand it, when Finale stopped development and support, they advised their clients to switch to Dorico, and about 60% did. The rest went to Musescore. As Murathan said, Musescore is free and easy to learn. You can easily set it up to do lead sheets (treble staff with chord symbols.)
