Empty bars not hiding...
Hi,
Not sure what the problem is here, I might be overlooking something but I have "hide empty bars" selected and yet the empty bars are still visible...
Thanks for the help.
Cheers,
Uri

If all staves within a system are empty, then MuseScore will force show the first staff. Otherwise someone reading the score won't be aware that time should be passing during playback there.
Ah, I see now that you're using drumset as an intro in-between. In that case I propose 3 possible options to make this work.
1. Use measure stretch
2. Use a fixed spacer to overlay the staves
3. Use measure stretch and leading space offset on the first measure rest which can be made invisible.
I've done each method once in the attached sample. Personally I'd go with option 1 as it is the only option that remains musically true to what is happening.

Ahaa, sure, that makes sense. Thanks for the tips!

Bump. Same problem, different context. Thought I'd reuse the thread.
I'm having problems hiding staves throughout this score. I attached the first page:

Ok. I added a second piano (upper), to add alterations in small staves, and in the style of an Ossia. This part is empty except the two places I have pasted measures: the intro, and the Coda ending, both visible here.
I'd like to focus on the bass clef. This is from the Piano I (large). I can't make it go away. These are new, inserted measures. I cannot hide this staff, or find anything on it. If I add more measures and line breaks, it will disappear on the next line, which will instead have an unhideable treble clef of Piano 2 (small). Going back and deleting the offending first line will bring the bass clef forward: it will unhide on the next line down.
Clearly MuseScore thinks this is not empty. But what am I looking for? what kind of object bumps a trace of itself forward to new measures when it is deleted? If this is a bug, can you help me figure out what the case is? (why it's happening specifically here)

GOT IT. It's the pedal. Even though the pedal-up is in the previous measure, Musescore appears to count it as still active. Moving the pedal-up back so there's another "buffer" beat finally allows the next line to hide. Surely this counts as a bug?

Looks different between 4.2.0 and the latest development build: in the latter is shows the treble/top staff rather than the bass/bottom staff

This can't be the desired behavior, right? The beat after a pedal mark is completed, Musescore counts the mark as still active... and in the latest build, active on the incorrect staff. Yikes.

Can you explain? You're saying in the latest build it shows upper staff instead of lower, but neither should be displayed. We might need screen shots to sort this out XD

MuseScore never hides all staves. It always shows ( or rather should show ) the top most staff, even if empty, if there's no other non empty to show

New uncluttered file highlighting the problem.

For me it looks like this pic 1 (before). The pedal marks in red are causing hidden staves to show.
Adjusting the pedal asterisks back one beat I get pic 2 (after).
The second staff is fixed, but the first is still wrong. The empty Pno2 bass clef has been replaced with an empty Pno1 treble clef. Are you saying that for you, the file looks like the second pic, without any adjustment?
And if so, why is that fixed? It's definitely better. but still showing unwanted staves.
