Re: slashSeparator - usage

[David Bobroff]

I don't think I can offer a way to do what you're asking.  I mainly want 
to point out that the slash separator is working as advertised for you. 
 It is used in scores to make it easy to find line breaks in a large 
score particularly when the number of staves changes as instruments are 
removed from the score due to lengthy rests.  One thing you can do is to 
simply number each exercise using the instrument name.  Along with the 
indenting this should make the beginnings, and the endings, of the 
exercises clear enough.

Hope this helps,

David
