Howdy Richard,

Probably the best method you can use is Staff/Split melody and accompaniment. This one takes off the top notes of chords from a staff and puts them in a "melody" track, and leaves the other notes in an "accompaniment" track. This one is probably the better bet for what it sounds like you want to do. You can also try the Staff/Split hands command, but that can give you multiple notes per chord in both staves.

ttfn,
Sherry
