Hiding brackets, clef, time signature and key signature at the beginning of a bar marked with Coda?

Hi,

I use Coda to mark up variations. However, some variation types are continuous variations based on ostinato. I want to hide brackets, clef, time signature and key signature at the beginning of some new variations.

Is it possible to do this without using the system text and still keep the coda markings?

If it’s continuous music, why not just use system text in the same format and a double barline? (Or the key change provides the barline here.)

One feature of flows and rehearsal marks is that you can navigate straight to them. We can’t do that with codas anyway, so how is a coda useful to you in this case?

(P.S. Roman numeral 9 is easier to read as “IX”. I only ever see VIIII on clock faces.)

Yes, I know it. It is an exercise of my niece and I told her about it. It surprised her, haha.

The original idea was for my niece to write a piece combining ‘theme and variations’ with ‘sonata form’ and ‘rondo’. However, she wrote the variations in the recapitulation part with extremely duplicated ideas from the exposition part, so that some variations in the recapitulation were too similar to the corresponding variations in the exposition. I suggested that she combine the variations into one continuous piece and remove the variations from the title. So I asked that question.

I think my ideal goal was not achieved, but it was good practice for her.

I think you can just delete a coda and the music goes back together again.
