It seems that you can hide any element of notation in Finale, so that it is
not visible in a score, but still works in the logic of the program; and that,
on top of the hidden symbol, you can have something else which is visible but
has no effect in the logic of the program. Right?
If so, then I suppose you'd use a small time signature (such as 1/4) which
fits evenly into both the ones you want to have running simultaneously, hide the
1/4, and write on top of it the time signatures you want to show. And you just
then hide the bar-lines which don't belong to the visible time signatures.
That seems to solve the problem - or have I missed something? Perhaps it
does sound a bit too easy.
Do these staff styles allow you to hide particular symbols individually, or
only allow you to set a general rule which decides automatically what is hidden
and what is not, and then you can't make exceptions?
