How to hide empty piano part with chords?

Dorico
1

I am trying to copy this “good” chart to my Dorico
but I can’t hide the piano’s empty bars because it has chords in them, and I don’t want to delete all chords from the piano part (the first 3 piano bars have chords in them).

Bottom line: I want to make my “score B” look like "score A "

score A
score A1080×1356 84.5 KB

Score B
Score B1240×1755 206 KB

Add a System Break where you want the Piano staves to stop and then use Staff Manual Visibility to hide the Piano.

Hide the chord symbols in the melody for 4 bars, and after that in the piano. This way, auto-hiding the staves can work its magic… :wink:
