How to set invisible ledger lines for specific notes/chords?

• Nov 13, 2016 - 06:50

I want to notate an approximate pitch of where the harp's strings are to be struck:

Such notation does not need ledger lines. The same would go for an undefined high pitch:
(NOT harp score)

Setting the stave properties renders all ledger lines (including the ones that has defined pitch) to be invisible. Is there a workaround?

I do not know if there's a better way.
Click on the note and on the beam, press V;
Press 'Z' to add the arrow;
View-> uncheck Show Invisible:

To get a note without ledger lines, just place it within the stave then change its Vertical Offset. Experiment with different Head types (Do, La etc.) for the shapes. Get creative with stem lengths etc.
