How do I hide these Metronome marks?

Hi all. I’ve imported a MIDI file that has constant tempo changes. I’ve hidden the flags as per instructions I found on the forum but it still leaves behind all marks in tempo text format. How do I hide these without deleting them for playback?

Heres the PDF of the score part in question:

kind regards

Rather than hide the flags, hide the tempo marks (via the Properties Panel).

3

Select one of the metronome marks, then type Ctrl+Shift+A repeatedly until they’re all selected, open the Properties panel at the bottom of the window, and switch off ‘Metronome mark shown’.

They’re all the same, so why not remove them? I probably miss something though :slight_smile:

Actually your right they look the same on page 1! but at each one the tempo is lifting but the . Is missing. So like 89.15… 89.25 bpm etc… later you notice we get to 90, 91,92

Thanks all. I was originall trying to hide the flags so ended up turning on metronome marks. Sure enough turning off Metronome marks in properties means those tempo marks will not print…
But while I’m working I’m looking at a mess of tempo flags. Any way to have these hidden?

Go to View > Signposts.

How do you “unhide” them or get back to the tempo properties panel? When we select all tempo markings, toggle “metronome mark shown” off and click away there seems to be no way to bring that setting back into view and re-engage the toggle.

I tried to create a new tempo marking and do the Select All then Filter All Tempos procedure again, but the toggle only affected the visible tempo marking. It seems like after you toggle that setting there’s no way to get them back?

Ok I figured it out. It’s done with signposts, I guess signposts are tied to the tempo markings. Show all signposts, then select all and filter by tempo markings then the toggle is present and it brings back the hidden markings

Signposts are there to show that something is hidden. If you look at the list under view>signposts you will see that many items can have a signpost if they are hidden. Tempo marks are just one example.

If signposts are shown, they can be selected and filtered like other objects.
