To hide staves for ossia measures or special playback

Use this method to hide staves that contain source music for ossia measures. Or, hide other staves that you don’t want printed; for example, staves containing notes for playback only, such as written-out trills, turns, or doubled parts.

  1. Click the Staff Tool  image\Staff_Tool.gif. The Staff menu appears.
  2. Select a staff, then choose Edit Staff Attributes from the Staff menu. (Or, double-click a staff, a staff handle, or a staff name.) Or, choose Edit Staff Attributes from the Staff menu without selecting a staff. The Staff Attributes dialog box appears. To display the attributes of another staff, choose a staff from the Staff Attributes for drop-down list menu. (Or, use the arrow controls to select a staff from the Staff Attributes for drop-down list menu.)
  3. Select Hide Staff in the Options section in the Staff Attributes dialog box, then click OK. Any staff that you hide using this method will still appear in any Staff Lists but “(hidden)” will appear after the staff’s name in the list.
