Hi Ramy, Is there supposed to be music on these staves on the first page? Because if no, they are supposed not to show. In case of any problems, I usually do not select the entire score when hiding occasionally-empty staves, but only the long passages where they are empty. It may be a bit more time-consuming to deal with one passage at a time, but at least I'm safe from bad surprises. Although I must admit I haven't tried doing it with the whole score.

If you'll describe again what it is you are wanting to achieve concerning hiding staves, etc., please tell me again, and I'll be glad to try and help. What is it that is not working as you might expect?
