The only way is to use a second instance of Sierra, with one chartbook in each.

Tom is outlining what SC would say is best practice.

But there is another way. In fact I use it. I have 3 monitors each displaying a different chart book and all from only one instance of SC

To do this you need to use a combination of the options under the Window tab being 'Always Visable' and 'Always on Top' to get the charts for other chart books to remain Visable on the other monitors

Wouldn't you just detach the chart book and move it to the other screen?
