[I just realized I didn't post this to the list. Plus I'm hoping for some more responses] I think if I were doing this manually that would probably work. Unfortunately changing my software to generate multiple score blocks would require a lot of work that I'm not sure is justified for just this one thing. I was lucky that I was able to insert the basic acrostic idea without having to rewrite any of the infrastructure.
