Can't unhide one stave of a grand staff

• Sep 9, 2021 - 02:55

Hi,

I'm trying to unhide a stave from a grand staff. Quite stumped, as I've tried the usual culprits:

ScreenShot 1: I was trying to add 6 bars of grand staff in a new staff system following the four bars in #2, but only one stave appeared.
ScreenShot 2: So I checked Format > Style > Score to make sure "Hide empty staves within systems" was unchecked. It was.
ScreenShot 3: Next I selected all measures of the lone bass staff and right-clicked for Measure Properties. Aha: Staff 1 was not checked as visible. So I checked it and here's what happened:
ScreenShot 4: Only the blue selection box shifted. Whereas in ScreenShot 3 the entire measure was selected, now the blue box appears only in the upper portion of the measure – as though it's acknowledging that there's another stave. But why won't it show?

The mixer shows only one instrument in the file: a grand piano, so this is definitely one half of a grand staff and not some other instrument.

Many thanks for any suggestions.

Gene
