For the record, I don’t mean hiding them for printing, which can be done in Setup by removing them from the Layout, but I was convinced that you could hide them and still have them play back…?
No, you can only hide a staff that’s empty, and a staff that’s empty will by definition not have anything on it that can play back…
there are already 2 or 3 topics (or even more) about this on the forum. Nearly everybody of us sooner or later has/had the same question

I must’ve had dreamt it, but I have this vague memory of seeing a video by Anthony showing how to do it… Heh, heh, heh! Oh dear senility must setting in…
