Thanks very much! I appreciate the help.

Hi
Another note.
Buses in the schematic are not restricted to related signals, like in a data bus of a micro processor.
A schematic bus in Kicad can be composed of unrelated signals, just as a convenient way to organize the drawing.

Yes.
I place the hierarchical labels in the sheet, and bring them up to the sheet placeholder (box) on the above sheet.
Then I use them to make the connections from sheet to sheet (box to box).
In general I only use globals for power.

To be sure I understand, you assign hierarchical labels on the lower level sheets, then bring them out like pins on the top level sheet? And then you make the connections between the lower level sheets on the top level sheet?

I use hierarchical labels for that.
In general I have one or more pages with only the blocks representing the hierarchic sheets and the hierarchical labels connected from sheet to sheet.

I have a multi-sheet schematic, where there are many random (not bused) signals that connect between sheets.? So far, the best approach I've come up with is to give every net a global label.
But that doesn't look very nice, because the global labels are contained in little boxes.? I'd rather be able to use plain "net" labels, which match the appearance of other schematic tools that I've used.
However, if I use net labels, then they obviously don't connect across sheets.
Is there any way in KiCad to have a multi-sheet, non-hierarchical schematic, such that ordinary "net" labels of the same name connect across all the sheets?
How do you handle multi-page schematics that are highly interconnected between sheets?
