Hi all,

I would like to temporarily disable dynamics for a particular staff. Could somebody please point me in the right direction.

Many Thanks
Brian

One way would be to save the file as a type 1 midi, change its name slightly, then read it back. You can open both files at the same time: create a new staff in the original file and copy the staff from the new file into it. It will have no dynamics, but you will have to reset the instrument.

Another way, possibly simpler would be to search for the "pp" (or any other )dynamic, select it, copy it to the clipboard, cntl/F then paste it into the expression. Where ever you find a colon ":" replace what you find after it with an asterisk "*" (Style and possibly staff position should be enough unless something else was overridden when the dynamic was created.) After you find the first one, alternate hitting the Delete key and the F3 key (search next) until you reach the end of the staff. Don't save this file if you ever want to see those dynamics again.

Many Thanks for the help Warren.

It's a pity there is no easier way to handle this.
