Hiding Empty Staves

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

In a conductor's score, it is common practice to present staves only for those instruments that are playing. For example, if a system in the score displays measures 10 through 14, and the flutes are not playing in these measures, then the conductor's part omits the flute staff in this system.

Notation Player offers an option to hide empty staves, according to this common practice for a conductor's part. If a staff has lyrics, but no notes, Notation Player will still display the staff. If no staves in a system have notes or lyrics, then Notation Player displays only the first staff.
