Newbie question: How do I hide time signatures
New user. Didn't find this in the documentation, so decided it was just as easy to ask more experienced users.
How do I hide time signatures? I wrote a piece that I'd otherwise would have done senza misura. Want to remove (hide) the time signatures (there's a new time signature for each bar now). How do I hide them?

Roght click on a time signature -> Select -> Select all similar. Right click again -> Set invisible.

Is this meant to work in MuseScore 2 as well?

yes. You can however also just select and delete the time sigs, has the advantage that they don#t even take the space they would take if hidden
In reply to yes. You can however also by Jojo-Schmitz
Thanks. I believe that reverts the measure’s duration to 4/4 though (which is what I was struggling with initially).

Thank you so much! Now you have saved me a lot of time!
BTW, instead of using time signatures then hiding them, next time try right clicking measures and setting the "Actual Duration", and/or using the join and split commands in Edit / Measure. Invisible time signatures still take up space; these other methods are better suited to what I think you are trying to do.

"Actual Duration" is just what I was looking for. Thank you very much!
This may or may not still be germane 8 years later, but I was looking for this same thing today. An easier way (in version 2.3.2) is to right-click, select Staff Properties, then select Advanced Style Properties. One of the toggles is "Show time signature."

I believe that option indeed didn't exist 8 years ago, in MuseScore 1

This was very helpful, thank you. Also, a hidden time signature in the current version won't take up space like it apparently did in the older version.
I've just tried to select it, then go to Inspector (F8) and click off the Visible option. It works.
