Title: Short length hidden staves.
Post by: tony smedley on 2008-10-18 08:07 PM
I am sure this has been raised before, but I cannot track down the subject.  Sometimes I want to add a hidden staff for only a few bars, where there is a tricky bit of notation, perhaps involving chords and rests or the like. But I have to fill in the whole of the hidden staff with rests, just to create a few bars. Is there a work around?

Not that I know of...

I copy a whole rest and a bar line to the clipboard and start pasting to the staff until I reach the trouble spot.  If it is on a layered staff, I would make the whole rest hidden before taking it to the clipboard, leaving the bar lines visible.

You probably knew this already, but unless there is a user tool I don't know about I have to agree with Lawrie that this step is unavoidable.  Sorry.

There is. NumberBars (https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=6282.msg42369#msg42369)

A side use is to add no text or key. This will result in a staff with just invisble rests and barlines.

Uh, I missed (forgot) that line!
Thank you Rick.
