show/hide staff for multi-staff instrument

Hi, in a percussion ensemble piece, at one moment I’d like a marimba to have 2 staves, so I changed the instrument to “marimba - 2 staves 5 octaves”. Is it possible do that, except when I’m using both staves, the page layout only display one staff, with a system similar to intelligent instrument change ? to avoid having an empty staff for most of the piece.

Thanks

There is an option in Layout options > Vertical spacing > Hide empty staves
You can tick "Allow individual staves of multi-staff instruments to be hidden. That should solve your problem :wink: Hope it helps!

Works just fine ! I just had to check all instruments as I didn’t want them to be hidden, but with the “Allow individual staves of multi-staff instruments to be hidden” option" the result is just as I wanted :slight_smile:, thanks
