How achieve this in v3?
In MuseScore 2 I have a score with this effect (i.e. the cantor's bar in line with the choir soprano line, minimizing vertical space used):
achieved by hiding empty staves, and with a horizontal frame. In MS2 if I allow empty staves it looks like this:
I want to work on the score in MuseScore 3 now, but after accepting the new layout and font options, I am having trouble reproducing this effect.
With empty staves hidden it still looks like this (i.e. it won't hide them):
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

IIRC I've seen this problem too. Better report it in the issue tracker
Best I can suggest is to create the cantor's bar separately, use Tools >Image Capture and save it as a .PNG and then paste it into an empty frame.

Or a system break
Thanks for suggestions, and for this score I'm going to stick with Musescore v2!!
Hide Empty staves
Two horizontal frames with a system break inbetween them:
* The first one is used to squeeze the cantor measure back to a normal width
* The second one is used to push the remaining measures past the cantor measure
Then add a fixed spacer to the cantor measure and set its height to -4 sp

That's incredibly clever, I'll have to remember that one!
My approach would probably be to not have the can't a separate staff, but simply use the existing top staff, then enable the "cutaway" options on the other staves. but, you might also need to play games with the barline and/or brackets. Realistically, I'm be more likely still just to notate it "normally".
