Has anyone else seen this gif from the Scoring Notes review:
and thought: the in between state in which you see faded empty staves seems like a great way of bringing together the benefit of seeing very clear entrances of each part with the cleanliness of not having all the clefs, brackets, etc. at the start of each system, BUT still maintaining the nice visual consistency of the horizontal staff lines?
I know some handwritten scores have done this, but are there published scores like this?
Handwritten scores will have been mostly written on pre-lined staff paper.
I doubt that the technology to achieve grey lines (or significantly thinner black lines than normal staff lines) existed.
If you turn on “View options” in Print mode, then the complete staff lines do appear, but they are not drawn thin/grey.
Notation is sometimes informed by the available technology, so we may see novel uses for what we can now do.
I have to admit that while I never considered using cutaway scores, this in-between view really looks great!
I’m happy to know that it’s possible to show the staff lines at all. And I’ll put in a request for a thin/grey option as well. I do remember the old days of pre-drawn staff lines, too. I mean, I’m old enough. 
Sorry! I press Mono out of habit…
Yup, me too.

Super cool!
Indeed a cool option.

Would you mind telling me where the color, opacity, etc., options window is found? Thank you,
That was a test in Affinity Designer, not a Dorico thing. Just export in Print Mode as Color.
Got it, thanks.
