How to hide part of the staff line in a measure? (asking for two different hiding ways)

How to hide part of the staff line in a measure? It is quite easy to do it using staff tool in Finale. May I know how to make it in Dorico? Here are two questions below and these are the examples I made in Finale v27. Thank you!

Parts of staff lines can be hidden with staff text consisting of spaces with collision avoidance disabled and background erasure enabled in engrave mode. Barlines can be hidden by changing them to dashed barlines and setting the dash length to zero in engraving options:

This method is really difficult and indirect but it really works!.. Thank you so much!

If Dorico support team develops a tool like Finale - Staff tool, it will be great!

However, it does not work in part score. It really works in full score, but the word space is too large for part…

Full score is OK

It does not work in parts. I tried to edit it locally, when I delete some of the space in part (Write Mode), it also deletes the space in full score

Is there any tools which I can hide the staff line according to the rhythm grid?
