blank measure without rests
I would like to create an assignment for my students where they name notes and then where they have to draw the named notes. Is it possible to have blank measures that are just the staff and bar lines, no rests? How?

Set the rests invisible:
Right click on a rest -> Select... -> All Similar Elements -> uncheck the 'Visible' checkbox in the Inspector (or, as a shortcut, type the letter 'V').
The rests will turn gray - which means they won't print.
To hide the gray rests on your computer screen, use menu item: View, then uncheck 'Show Invisible'.
Regards.

Nope, that did not work

It most definitely works.

Indeed, it does work. If you’re still having trouble, please attach your score and tell precisely what you are done g step by step (including which rests you are selecting and how you are selecting them) and tell us exactly what goes wrong. Then we can understand and assist better.
Right-click one rest, select all similar, then in Inspector mark them invisible.
They will appear grey in MuseScore, but won't show at all in a printout

@Jojo...
Prior to the website upgrade, I enjoyed observing the time stamps on the forum posts.
@Thomas, bring them back... it showcases the speedy responsiveness of the forum contributors.

While I agree that time stamps are nice, I also see that this here is not a competition for the fastest reply ;-)
(and I am not implying that you see it that way)

And High German too, the original is Low German, see https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Hase_und_der_Igel, there it reads "Ick bün all dor“. Understandably this is not taught when learning German as a foreign language ;-)
Thank you! It worked!

Is it possible to have truly blank bars - without rests or notes - either hidden or shown?
I'd prefer not to have to hide elements if possible. In the case of an exercise - for example shown on a piano - the top line might have the notes filled in, but the bottom line may have whole note rests.
As noted, they can be made invisible, but is it possible to just not have them at all?

No. Only with hidden rests.

Thanks - but a pity nevertheless.

Putting exercises together, expect to be using hidden notes & rests and similar techniques a lot. Don't think of it as something to avoid, think of it as a tool to embrace.

You can get the measure to appear empty by moving the whole measure rest to the other stave -i.e. using the cross-staff notation facility - after making it invisible if that matters to you.
