In Composer you can either delete a staff or temporarily hide a staff. If you delete a staff, it is permanently removed from the song. If you save the song as a MIDI file or Notation file, the deleted staff will not be included in the file.

In contrast, if you "hide" a staff, it is only temporarily removed from the current part. If you save the song as a MIDI file or Notation file, the hidden staff will also be saved. If the MIDI file is later reopened, the hidden staff will displayed again.
