Deleting chords from instrument only

In my trumpet part, I had unnecessary chords because of lots of rests. So I deleted them. I didn’t realize that it deleted them from the full score. Is there a way to only delete chords from a single instrument part?

You have to hide them.

To do this, select them (just the Trumpet chords) and open the Properties panel. There will be a Hide property there. N.B. if you want them hidden in both the Score and Parts, make sure your scope is set to Global.

If you only want chords in the Trumpet part here and there, it might be better to use a Chord Symbol Region:

If you don’t want chords in the Trumpet part at all:

Pardon my ignorance, but where is the properties panel located? If what seemed to be properties but there was nothing in there about hiding a chord. I had selected a chord as well.

If you press Cmd/Ctrl+8, the lower zone will be visible and it should display the Properties panel by default (I think).

Thank you, I’ll give it a try

Cheers,
