Making percussion start with a single line and percussion clef at the start of each flow

[Daniel_Buckley]

I haven’t been able to find a clear answer on this (perhaps I am not searching using the correct wording):

I have my percussion laid out as shown in the image but for consistency I want it to start with the single line staff and percussion clef at the beginning of every flow (right now i suspect that the reason that percussion IV is starting with treble clef is because I have a pitched instrument appearing first a few measures later).

Is there an easy way to make Percussion I-IV start single line percussion staff as I want at the beginning of each flow for the sake of consistency? One workaround that I found is to insert a whole note in a non-pitched instrument in write mode and then hide the note. However, this creates the issue of a blank measure and I am hoping to avoid that.

Did you try with a chord symbol region?

Thank you, that seemed to do the trick. I did find another workaround with a musical symbol that produces similar results. I’ll keep experimenting with both depending on the particular project.
