Title: Mute Staff dynamically
Post by: Brett Hope on 2004-11-08 05:29 PM
Does anyone know a way to mute a staff dynamically, i.e. "on the fly" instead of in the "Staff Properties" tab?

It is on the tool bar, just to the left of the "L" (for Lyrics).

Do you want to mute some notes in the staff partly?
If so:

Choose notes
Control + E
Check 'Muted'

You can press M and the list of all staves comes up.
Then you can check that staff.

-OR-

You can press Alt+S, then M.

The question refers to dynamic (on the fly) muting, which on a per staff basis is probably not achievable, but you can mute a channel using an Expression or Volume MPC, and then later restore the channel with another MPC.

Or, if it's just playing back one staff at a time that you want, use Shift-F5 instead of F5 to play the single staff and temporarily mute the others.
