Meaning you want three instuments? Press "I" to bring up the instruments dialog, add another instrument - or another staff to the second instrument if that's what you really mean. Or maybe you just mean, you want more measures - in which case, Add / Measures / Append Measures, however many measures you need.
Hmm, or maybe you mean you want the last systemof the score to show only one of the two instruments. In which case, its Style / General / Hide Empty Staves that you want.

Its your third sentence. But, how do you hide one instrument of a system when using multi-measure rests?

I'm not understanding how multi measure rests change anything. An empty staff is an empty staff, whether multimeasure rests are on or off.
Posting the score you are having trouble with would help.

It's suppose to look like the last system in the attached score but without the bass instrument.

Ah, I see. You have two staves, and they are *both* empty, but you want one of them to show up. This is probably not the right situation for multimeasure rests. That symbol literally means *rest* for the specified number of measures, but you really seem to mean *improvise* for that number of meausrews. The more standard way of indicating that would be with slash notation, not rests. But occasionally, I know some fakebooks will use the multimeasure rest symbol as a substitute for slashes just to save space. So assuming you want to emulate that, what you need is to go to Staff Properties for the top staff and check "Never hide" or "Do not hide if system is empty" (either one works in this situation), then turn on "Hide empty staves".

Yes I've seen it in "Fake Books" and in some orchestration. In the orchestration, I've only seen it as rests. If I couldn't make it work I was going to use slash notation which is probably the best. All in all, thanks. Easy fix.
