You are here: Encyclopedia > F > First and second endings > Hiding the ending brackets and text repeats for a specified staff

If your score includes a piano part (for example), you normally won’t want ending brackets (such as a first ending bracket) to appear above both the treble and bass staves. Similarly, you would probably want a Text Repeat (such as “To Coda”) only to appear above the treble staff, not above both. If you want to remove these items from just one staff:

To hide the ending brackets and text repeats for a specified staff

  1. Click the Staff tool  image\Staff_Tool.gif, and double-click the staff for which you want to hide the brackets or Text Repeats. The Staff Attributes dialog box appears.
  2.  In the Items to Display section, uncheck Endings and Text Repeats.
  3. Click OK. (If you want to assign the text repeat to a number of staves in your score use Staff Lists in the Create/Edit Ending dialog box and  Backward Repeat Bar Assignment dialog box).
