Gaps

2023-04-06 12:44 am

I think this may not be supported, but I'll ask anyway. I have a score with two non-layered staves. One is a one line percussion staff. Below it is a "cue" staff. Where there is no need for cues, that staff is collapsed. If there is a need for cue notes for only half a staff, I'd like to "gap" the cue staff, and leave half of it not printed. I can gap the second staff, while showing the entire first staff, but the space on the first staff corresponding to the second staff gap will not accept any notes. In the attached, the second line does what I want, because the second staff is incomplete. Can I make the first line also do that?
