Command line, ignore specific instrument in a part
Dear all,
in my score I have added some "Instruments" to a part in order to enable a specific effect (e.g. the metronome tick, or the sound of the conductor breathing in order to provide the Impuls signal to the orchestra) in the mp3 output. However, I want to exclude them from the PDF output.
A possible solution could be to maintain duplicate parts, one with and one without those additional instruments lanes, however it would be leading to inconsistencies in case of modifying one and not the other instance of the instrument part, and furthermore would be disturbing the visualisation..
An ideal approach would be to be able to specify which instruments in a part should be excluded.
Any advice ? Thankyou

Avoiding that inconsistency is what (linked) parts (like created via File > Parts) is all about.
You can, in that dialog, create Parts with more than one instrument.
And subsequently export these parts as separate PDFs

In addition to the above, and in particular for metronome tracks, you can mark them "invisible" in Edit > Instruments.

Ah, right. An even better choice here.
I often use an invisible male 'backing' voice (an octave below the shown voice in G-clef), just for the sound
