Hello all,
I try to have all staves on the first system, even the celesta and percussion 3 that has no notes there.
For now I have put a hidden grace note.
Is there a real way to do it ?

Normally, all staves (for all Players that are selected in the Flow and in the Layout) will show, unless you’ve explicitly turned on Staff Hiding for empty staves in Layout Options.
As you can see, there’s an option to show all staves on the first system.

haha 
yes sometimes my question level is really basic ! 
But I see I have not put all info in my question,
I have a bunch of “behind the stage” staves that I don’t want on the first system so now the next question is how to hide them ?
Use a manual staff visibility at the start.

I have touched this here and there but can’t get a hold on it..
Is this per system ? If I only want to hide it on the first system how do I stop it ? with a frame break ?
Ah now I know why “hide after first system” wasn’t the solution : I’ll have all staves at the beginning of every flow… and there is 9…
I can perhaps use this Manual Staff visibility to show celesta and percussion 3 Only on the first system of the first flow ?
That did it !
I don’t use the hide empty staves after first system but did a manual staff visibility on celesta and perc 3 with a reset at the next page/framebreak.
is there a correct way to make this combined FRM.BRK + STAFF VIS. signpost ?
thank you so much !
