Hide Cautionary Time Signature - Not Working for Me


Reference the attached - I’m trying to hide the 6/8 and 7/8 cautionary time signatures at the system breaks and have followed the procedures shown in the Dorico “Help”. I select the cautionary time signature, and select “Hide” cautionary time signature but nothing changes. I’ve tried adjusting between Local and Global but no impact. And I’ve tried inserting a System break at the following page but no impact. Would appreciate any help folks could provide on this.
Many thanks!

Hi @dhcfield, if I remember correctly, at the moment (Dorico 5.1.60) using the Layout option for TS Show at system object positions, prevents the cautionary to be hidden.

I found the answer by Daniel:

In this case (as a workaround), you can put the unwanted TS out of view, outside the page , selecting it in Engrave mode, and setting an outrageous high number in the Y offset :wink: :

Thanks for this information - at least I know I wasn’t the problem. Hopefully they’ll adjust this in future updates.

Let me add that I, too, would very much like the opportunity to hide cautionary time signatures regardless of placement of the time signatures. Specifically, I’d like to hide time signatures when they’re placed above the staff. Thanks!
