Figured Bass linked players with only one notated system

I’m transcribing a score with several different groups of musicians, also some figured-bass players. I’d like to notate for example organ and harpsichord only with the figured bass-line, but when hiding the treble-line of those playerst, the figures don’t show up even when checked as figured-bass players in layout options.

It is a peculiarity that figured bass is internally attached to the top stave of a grand staff. This enables figured bass to work with both single and multiple stave instruments, but does mean that if you remove the top staff the figures also go!

You would need to define your organ and harpsichord as single stave instruments. You can do this in Library>Instruments.
