Split view to open more than 2 instances in Notepad++

Question

I know how to open two instances at the same window by using clone option in View. But can we open more than two instances in Notepad++? I tried to Clone to Other View from one instance but it just moves to another instance instead of creating new instance.

I want to edit big source file in 3 different parts. So I want to know whether notepad++ can do this.

Solution

You can have only two views....per window. If you set your notepad window to (say) left half of screen (start + left arrow) then drag a tab into the other half it opens a new instance. Set that mew instance to other half, and you can have two views. If you have 3 monitors......12 files, but cloned files will give some problems.
