I’ve looked at ways of displaying different staves for one instrument and what seems to be the popular way is to add another instrument to a player that uses the staff you’re looking for. I’ve added a Cajon to my guitarist and renamed it guitar percussion, then manually changed the staff visibility depending on when I want the player to see it. However, I can’t seem to have the instrument name display as “guitar percussion” in the score, anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
Welcome to the forum @etellefsen7!
I can’t remember for sure for sure but if you go to Layout Options>Players>Percussion, try setting that kit to 5-line staff and see what happens. Does it change anything? The reason I ask is because currently displayed as a grid.
Also, are you displaying this in Galley View? Individual instruments will be displayed in this case and the guitar/kit won’t condense into one staff unless you’re in Page View.
Hi @etellefsen7 here is what I suggest to do (the steps are visualized in the picture):
- go in menu Library to Layout Options/Players/Percussion and set your Percussion as Grid in case you changed it
- in Setup mode click on the three points near your (green) instrument (green “instruments” are Percussion Kits) and choose Edit Percussion Kit
- in the Edit Percussion Kit window, select the grid view
- select both your Cajons (with command click)
- create a Group clicking on the +
- rename the group that have been created with double click on it (both the Full and Short names) as Guitar Percussion and Guit. perc. for example
- don’t forget to click Apply after having renamed the group!
Now your staff displays correctly your desired name 
Hi @Christian_R! Sorry I’m only getting back now but thanks so much! That did it!
