How to Change from a two staff piano part to a single staff in the same chart
In the attached chart, in the Piano part, I would like to switch to a single treble clef in the Solo Changes portion of the chart, (D,E,F) and then back to a treble and bass clef part after at letter G.
I don't know how to do that.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Right-click the staff you want to disappear when empty, then click Staff/Part Properties, and set "Hide when empty" to "Always".

One more.... for the road...
I would like to make the piano part in the attached score a single line part like one might see in a Sher Fake Book. With the slash notation on top of the staff, instead of doing it the way I currently do it with a separated staff (bass clef) for the "hits" for the piano.
I've run into a couple problems.
- The handbook states that if you notate the measure using the 3rd or 4th voice, it will take it to the top of the staff. It doesn't appear to do that on mine.
-Also, the slash notes still have a pitch during playback. I thought they would just play whatever chord was above them, but they do both. Whatever line/note I created them on, that is the pitch that sounds.
Am I doing something wrong when notating them? I notated the rhythm with a certain pitch in the measure and then go to Tools and click (Toggle Rhythmic Notation).
Is there a better way?

That score uses only voice 1, all the way.
The slashes I checked all have playback disabled, so don't sound

Play the last 8 of the piano part to the end... from Letter I.
The Cmi7b5 in measure 98 sounds and the second half note slash in measure 100 sounds. I don't know what I did different.
Secondly, my goal is to put all of that slash notation on top of one staff above the melody, but when I tried doing that, in voice 3 or 4 it didn't seem to work.

It is tied to from the measure before, and there indeed 'Play' is enabled, also the one in measure 100. Just disable these. Right click one of them, Select > More > Same Notehead, then in Inspector disabled Play, to be sure to not have missed one.
And as said: there is no voice 3 or 4 note anywhere, so no wonder you don't get that to work. First add voice 3 notes, then toggle to Rhytmic slash notation

To be clear: slash notation should play nothing by default. If you use "rhythmic slash notation", then whatever pitches you originally entered are preserved, but playback is disabled, because most of the time people don't bother entering "real" pitches, they just enter C for everything. But the original pitches are still there, if you do check Play, it will play whatever pitches you originally entered.
Not sure what you mean about voice - as mentioned, it doesn't seem like you are actually using voice 3 here. But definitely, it works if done as per the Handbook - add the notes in voice 3 first, then toggle the rhythmic slash notation.

OK, OK,....
I got it.
The key for me was "add the notes in voice 3 first..."
WORKS AS ADVERTISED!
Thanks Marc!
