Have you tried creating a staff style that breaks the barline between
staves as well? That should override the grouping issue.
You may need to apply a staff style to two staves. First create a
staff style that unchecks barlines and break bars between staves.
Apply that to the staff in question. Then to the staff below that,
apply a style that just breaks the barline.
I'm away from my finale computer so there might be a simpler way, but
this is where I would start.

I'd like to hide the bar line on one staff in a group in a large
orchestral score. In other words, the instrument's staff will break
the barline. I can't hide it using a staff style because I believe
the group line overrides it.
A couple methods I can think of:
1) Use an expression to white out the bar line. This seems to work
well enough, but hard to get perfect and I'm picky.
2) Overlay another staff and hide the measure in the old one. I've
never done this sort of thing so I'm unsure of what pitfalls there
might be.
3) Hide the barline in this measure for all instruments and put in
lines manually. Pain to keep adjusting while working out the layout
& parts.
Has anyone else had to do this? Is there an easier way I'm missing?
Thanks,
Rich
