Hiding bracket on single staff


Is there any way to hide bracket when only one staff appears? The other staff is empty, so I’ve been hidden it by vertical spacing staff visibility. I’m sure there’s a nice solution, but can’t find it.

The only solution I see is to make a separate Player just for that line.
Brackets do make sense though, especially in this situation. Without a bracket the musician might read the line belonging to the system below as an ossia.

Thank you. You may be right, but it does look so weird, doesn’t it?

Do you have Layout Options like this?
Not sure if it helps though.

It hasn’t worked, at least I haven’t found how to manage. But hey, KB convinced me to leave it as it is. And my laziness, too:))

You can use a manual bracketing change to remove it. But you would have to do the reverse when you want it back.

How did you manage this, @Janus ? I’ve spent loads of time on it and havent found any way:)

To remove, in Engrave, just select and delete the bracket.
To replace, just add it back and drag across the two staves.
