How to disable the abbreviation "unis." in choral scores?

Hi,

In choral staves, is there a way to automatically disable or hide the abbreviation “unis.” so I don’t have to do it one by one throughout the entire score and waste a tremendous amount of time? It’s very, very tedious, and there’s always a risk of missing some.

Thank you,

Greg

If you never need it, try setting Library->Engraving Options->Condensing->Text for unison… to a space. Or are you talking about divisi?

Thanks. In my choral scores, I’ll never need it. Obviously, “unis.” appears when I write for divisi (S1 and S2 for example) and when the staves are condensed and the notes and the rythm are the same.

So, did changing the text to a space work?

Yes, thank you very much!

Good, didn’t try it myself.

I’m sure there must be another method, as I’ve definitely automatically had no labels for divisi, but I don’t think I’ve changed that Condensing option.

This one in Layout Options:

But that will hide the divisi numbers also. Maybe not important, though.

Indeed; to only hide the “unis” labels, I think your solution is the right one.

But he probably wanted to hide the numbers also.
Thanks @charles_piano, forgot about the layout option.
