Is there a way to have the metronome mark shown only for the score but hidden for parts? I’m wanting to be able to not have to uncheck “metronome mark shown” in the properties panel for each individual part when I go to print the music.

You could input the metronome mark as staff text ( shift X) in the full score, maybe using mus glyphs.
Then it will only be visible in the full score and not in the parts
OK. But what about getting text in all the parts and not the score?
Probably using shift X again, and key command duplicate to staff below, a few times
You’d honestly think there would be a way to do this easily.
Maybe somebody else has a better solution. My solution takes less than 10 seconds ….

Correct, but you’d think there would be a toggle in the properties window to show or hide the “note type =“ part of the metronome marking for the parts.
Hide metronome marking Globally in the score. Then show it Locally in the score. Did that work?
That does not work, unfortunately. When you hide an object globally, you cannot unhide it locally. I believe this is true of any property that has only a checkbox.
I said in my post I don’t want to keep doing that.
I think @LAE was proposing something different, just a 2-step operation. Hide the marking globally, then unhide it just in the score and let it remain hidden in all the parts. This was a common sort of operation in Finale. Unfortunately, you can’t do this in Dorico.
What’s the link to request a feature?
The dev team reads this forum, so they will see this thread and hear the request – and I’m pretty sure this kind of thing has been requested before.

It needs to be in 6.1 LOL.
“That” meaning unchecking for each individual part, and I did NOT suggest that in my post. @asherber understood me right, but unfortunately it does not work. I really think it should.
System text, alt+shift+x, then hide locally in the score.

…The solution is in Layout Options, the section for Tempo. “Show metronome marks in immediate tempos” can be unchecked for selected layouts.

Great catch, @LAE – I didn’t know that was there!

Really nice that there already was such a smooth solution!
And as an addition to that, if you have only a metronome mark at the start, you need to add text to it (which can be a space, so it’s not visible). Only then the metronome mark is hidden whin you uncheck this for the parts.
