Percussion instrument change 1 line

I would like to turn the highlighted section into a single percussion line.

Is there a way to do this?

A workaround would be to insert a Chord Symbol region in the Snare Drum staff, for those three bars, in Galley view (it will break the multi-bar rest, thought):

Thank you for your reply.

The multi bar rest must be retained.

Though I wouldn’t recommend it, a very tricky workaround would be to create a small bar (like 2/2,0.25) before bar 5, hide/remove the rests everywhere, enter a note for the snare drum in this bar, hide it, “hide” the barline, group this bar as pickup for bar numbering, choose this layout option:

and adjust everything (for every layout) in Engrave Mode/Note Spacing:

Thank you for your reply.

Could you perhaps show me a video of the process?

How do I hide the barline?

In your case, I think you could put a dashed barline and set the dash length to zero in Engraving Options.

Here you are, in two parts.

Thank you for your reply.

Is there a reason to set the `rest` property globally?

I did that before changing the opacity of the rests that were not removed by Remove Rests, in order to change their opacity in the parts as well.

Thanks.
