hide empty staves
I'm setting out a 4-part song where the verse is sung in unison and the chorus in parts.
So the verse has nothing in the bass stave so I don't want that printing.
Nothing I have tried seems to do that, I always get the empty stave printed.
I've ticked the box in Edit-Style-Score Hide empty staves but it makes no difference.
I've tried deleting the empty bars but that also removes the linked bars.
I'm obviously missing something but what.
Any clues?

'hide empty staves' diesn#t reylla hide staves, it hides instrumwents. And you entered your SATB on a piano staff which consists of 2 staves.
You separate 'instruments' for this, either 2 pianos, one of which you remobe the treble clef and other of which you remove the bass cleff, or to voice staves, e.g. Alto and Bass

I don't understand this.
I've entered two voice staves but again, when I try to remove the bass stave, it also removes the treble stave.
Exactly what should I be doing to get a single stave and then a double stave in the same piece?

Just add to 'instuments', Alto and Bass. Optionaly add a bracket.
Don't create one 'instrument' with 2 staves, like a piano.
Check the sample file I attached earlier

Thanks, that's exactly what I want
but..
how did you convert from what I entered to what you produced?
In reply to Thanks, that's exactly what I by Ewart North
add alto and bass, copy and paste, delete piano
Also reenter staff text, volra, and othere things that don't cop/paste. (I didn't do the voltas)
