How can I delete / remove voices?

I have problems with removing / deleting voices that are no longer needed because they generate unnecessary plug-in instances, have the wrong color and hinder “divisi” and prevent the other voices from being moved correctly, etc.

My work around is to copy the player and his notes and then delete the original - then the voices are correct again. Here I am missing a corresponding menu item.

Greetings to all!

If a voice is empty for an entire flow, it will automatically be removed when the project is saved, closed, and reopened.

Hello, thanks for the answer.
Unfortunately it is not the case for me. Although I can’t find any content - so it seems empty - but unfortunately it never goes away.

If they are truly “empty” parts (I suspect in reality there is a hidden explicit rest or some other such thing) then select everything in the stave for the whole flow and then right click and make everything merge into upstem voice 1. See the screenshot below- it’s the same principle but in reverse from this linked comment.

Thanks for your reply. I will try this next time. It happend, when I changed two polyphone voices in one divisi-system.

Thanks for your help!
The explicitly emptied voices have disappeared after restarting the program - the list of voices has been cleaned up.
You have to know … (thanks to VEP no problem either)
