Hide Empty staves misbehaving

Hey team. I would like to hide empty staves, like a fat bar of rest with the number on top saying how many bars rest are required before entry. I’ve done this before omn different projects and it’s worked fine.

I’m not getting this when I have the option selected. Any thoughts?

I would like to hide empty staves in the full project layout. FYI there are two drum kit ‘players’, to enable different stem directions/unified written voicing within the same project (I’d like to know if there’s a better way to do this)


Thanks!

I feel like what you are looking for is not the Hide Empty Staves feature but Multi-bar Rests.

Hide Empty Staves works in a score with multiple players; it prevents the staves of those who are not playing from being displayed.

Since you are in the full score, Multi-bar Rests are not enabled by default. You can activate them in Layout Options > Players > Bar Rests and Multi-bar Rests > Consolidate.

However, if you use the parts layouts, it’s automatic.
