Hiding rests (creating a completely blank staff)
I'm creating counterpoint assignments for pre-theory 1 students. I have a cantus firmus in a lower staff, and want a blank staff above for the student to write their counterpoint in (or vice versa). How do I best hide all the whole note rests in the blank staff? I can hide each rest individually but it's a pain when I have a lot of examples (50+ measures). Can I hide a group of rests, or change a setting globally?
This would also be useful if I were trying to create a blank manuscript page. Thanks for any help.

Right select a rest > select > similar elements.
Then choose "make invisible".

When I right click in either edit or note entry mode, I don't get the option of choosing similar elements. Could it be that my version doesn't have it? I'm using a linux version, 9.5 on Ubuntu. Is there another way to be able to choose similar items, other than right clicking item?

Thanks for the great support. Do you think the 0.9.6 version is stable enough for most work? I use this program at least three or four times a week to create assignments.

The release candidate for 0.9.6 should be out in the next few weeks so the latest nightly builds are close to stable. If you decide to try them and encounter problems be sure to report them .
