Is it possible to not show all instruments on some systems?
Hi! I'm writing a score in which some instruments play in some pages and some others don't (particularly, in the last three pages the guitar is the only instrument from the 7-instrument score which actually does something). I suppose there must be a way to not show the instruments who aren't playing at all on those pages, so instead of having 3 pages I have 1 with only the guitar. This is done a lot in orchestral music not to waste space, but I really couldn't find a way to do it here, so if anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! I assume it's the only way to do it, so there's no way to apply that to only a part of the score, or to only some instruments and not others, am I right?

There is no specify system by system or staff by staff what you want hidden in this way, but what you can do is insert an invisible note in the first measure of any staff of any system you *don't* want hidden. You can set the note to zero velocity so it won't affect playback.

Seems like a great idea, thanks a lot!
