Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but I couldn’t find a good answer.
I’m doing a bunch of lead sheets for a band. They don’t want melodies notated: only important rhythm section melodies, hits, etc. However, they are requesting lyrics shown, in their expected locations within each bar --so I’ve attached them to a voice of repeated, silent, 8ths. But now, how I do I hide this voice while retaining lyrics?
Lyrics are of course attached to noteheads, but Dorico doesn’t offer a simple “hide” function for noteheads or voices, at least not that I’m aware of.
In the graphic example, I want to hide the voice in orange, and leave only the bass line and lyrics remaining. Reducing opacity in the inspector only hides the noteheads, not the stems or beams.
Can anyone suggest a good workaround?
