Sample of last measure with hidden time signature
I just wanted to send another user a message about what to do with the "last measure" that doesn't have enough beats for the time signature.
That is, add a time signature and make it "hidden" so it won't be viewed on MuseScore online or printed.
Picture of what I do attached.

The usual way to handle this is right click the measure and set the desired actual time signature in Measure Properties. Then there is no time signature to hide.

Thanks, I'll try it.
Was that available in 1.3?
Just upgraded to 2RC yesterday. I like it.
Some minor import issues from 1.3 (mostly spacing) but it is working just great for me.

Yes, changing actual duration in Measure Properties worked in 1.3 too.
And yes, spacing won't always be identical between 1.3 and 2.0, but in most cases, default layout shuld be significantly inproveed. See for example http://musescore.org/en/node/25102. But if you did workarounds for less-than-ideal layout in 1.3, those might not make sense any more.

Default layout is indeed significantly improved!
When I said minor, I meant minor. I have to move a few objects around so they are lined up properly, and change staff spacing so the page breaks are where I want them to be. Probably mostly due to work-arounds I came up with. (Like the work-around I started this thread with, which now I find was unnecessary.)
I had thought it was necessary when I read this thread:

No big on the minor import issues... and it gives me a chance to look at what I've done to date and correct minor errors, etc.
MS2RC (not to be confused with MST3K) is a huge improvement!
