Good morning!
Is there a way to hide an empty group of measures, but maintain the empty space? I would like the measure with the colored rests to “be there” but not visible.
Thanks in advance.
Do you want totally empty space? Or just an empty staff? If the former, use a hidden coda.
Edit: Maybe not, that would put in a bracket as well.

Just note that if you use a coda, clefs will be restated at the start of the coda section (and brackets, as Craig says).
You could use separate music frames, all in the same frame chain, and use those to separate? although you’d have to line up the frames manually so the continuation of the staff lines matches.
Dorico doesn’t natively handle “cutaway scores” currently although this is planned at some point.
@gdayswu
Will the effect on measure numbers be important to you?

Good afternoon, I have same issue of @gdayswu. I need to hide a measure of a no-empty-stave. And it should no effect measure numbering. Any update from Oct 2021? Thank you all!
If you don’t want to mask it with a blank graphic, it is challenging, and there are limitations, but something like this can be done:
I simply switched to a 0-line instrument there and hid the note. As 0-line instruments are not officially supported, you can use the doricolib file I posted in this thread.
