I´m trying to create cutaways and these don´t appear in the parts, how can I do for using cutaways in parts?
I don’t think you can. How would you know how many bars rests the ‘gap’ was?

I think you can if you disable multi-rests. Set Consolidate to None
and activate cutaway for the part in Layout Options.

Thanks Jesele, you have given me the solution. The key was to disable multi-rests.
Thanks a lot!

This is how you can do it.
But I don’t see why you can’t have multi-rests and cutaways.
if you have only one staff you can’t see how many bars you cut even if you don’t allow multi-rests.
but if you have several staves you can always see the other bars in the other staves if they don’t have a cutaway (even if you have mutli-rests).
I need it only when I have fast changes between string 3-divisi and 2-divisi.
Here it would be perfect to ba able to blank out the lower two bars. (I’ve put opacity 0 for the whole bar rests)
How to do in this situation ? New line ? to avoid having 3 and 2 divisi on the same system ?

Personally, I would put both 1&2 text marked as divisi on 3.
Similarly if it’s a div a 2 system that splits into 3, put the 3 on both 1&2.
It is simpler for the parts (players hate having to change lines midway through a system).

Actually, old debussy parts violin 2 does like in my example for divisi 3 to divisi 2 - a staff with measures with no rest.
And the latest breitkopf parts for mahler’s 3rd do complete cutaways coming from div 3 going to div 2 on the same system.
I don’t see why one can’t have cutaways with multirests enabled.

I suspect it’s a practical issue in the codebase that prevents this, not a design decision that one shouldn’t use cutaways and multi bar rests in the same layout.
