I'll be more specific. I have a choral piece with a piano intro of 7 measures and I wish to hide the vocal staves for that system. Then the ladies sing alone for awhile, so I want to hide the men's stave on that system. I have highlighted that system and invoked Hide Empty Staves. All that

Hi Richard sorry I should have been more specific. Usually when you have a bunch of staves showing you can select the staff tool, then select all (cmd-A) and right click on ANY of the handles and choose Hide empty staves and it will hide the staves. Yesterday I came across a file where selecting

Sorry just noticed your comment about 85%, curiously I'm working at a staff reduction of 85% too, I wonder if this is a voodoo number responsible for a bug under various conditions. Then again, it could just be a coincidence - enormous conspiracy theories start this way... -- Simon Troup | BA

Hi Jeff, Being a guitarist, who enjoys your score work, I’d like tohumbly suggest a couple of ideas. First off, your score sample doesn’t appearto have a TAB staff insert, which is what I believe is your intention. TAB, to be specific is a numerical systemthat expresses fret numbers on a

hi bruce, thanks. a TAB clef is definitely a good idea (suppose i just though it to be obvious, but you are right that it is essential). my idea with the extra space between the 6th-7th strings was to improve legibility. with 10 staves i find it VERY difficult to differentiate the middle

Try bringing up the group attributes and make sure that When hiding empty staves is set to Hide normally. I had this same problem, and somehow Never hide was the selection. Sorry to come to this so late, I hope this helps. Giz Richmond VA |-Original Message- |From:
