chuck, you can change the colour and tone of the
hidden elements so they aren't as obtrusive. in
fact i have set mine to a light brown colour, so
i can better visualize how some elements will
appear (in B&W) in the parts (that are hidden in
the score) without looking at the parts, but
light enough to be able to "not see them" when i
am looking at the score.
since you do it already in the parts, it would be
far more efficient (quicker) to set it once in
the score, then hide it in the score and it will
appear in all parts. you would only have to set
it up once, rather than many times in extracted
parts. you can also use a staff list for the
measure-assigned symbol and it will only appear
in specific parts (and staves in the score). or
leave it on all parts (still hidden in the score)
and hide it individually in the parts. it
depends on how many parts need it which solution
would be the best.
Hi jef,
Yes, that's essentially what I do in extracted parts but, with
those, you never see the unused symbol (at least not in page view).
I readily admit to personal, emotional
irrationality on this issue, but I simply don't
like those half tone symbols lurking on the
screen in my score. I wish for a more elegant
way of doing this, but i can't figure out how it
might be implemented.

As I have often said, the one thing I can't
figure out how to do in the linked parts is to
place a "To Coda" symbol in the middle of a MM
rest without breaking out one individual
measure (5 - 1- 2 for instance, instead of 6 -
2).
assign it in the part to the first measure in
the MM rest, hide it in the score / other parts
as needed. this can be done very quickly and
easily.
pp 37-5 to 37-7 of the manual.
