To show hidden staves

If you’ve hidden a staff using the Hide Staves option in the Staff Attributes dialog box, Finale displays “(hidden)” after the name of the staff in the Staff Attributes for popup menu in the Staff Attributes dialog box.

1. Click the Staff Tool  . The Staff menu appears.
2. Click the handle on a hidden staff, then choose Edit Staff Attributes from the Staff menu. If you can’t find staff handles in your score, or if you’re not sure which staves are hidden, choose Edit Staff Attributes from the Staff menu without selecting a staff. The Staff Attributes dialog box appears. Choose the hidden staff from the Staff Attributes for popup menu, which provides a complete list of all staves in the score. (Or, use the arrow controls to select the hidden staff from the Staff Attributes for popup menu.)
3. Click to deselect Hide Staff in the Staff Attributes dialog box. The staff will reappear when you return to the document.
4. Use the arrow controls to choose another hidden staff and deselect Hide Staff to display the staff in the score.
5. Repeat the process for every hidden staff you want displayed again, then click OK when you’re done.
