Select the entire score via ctrl+a, then press alt+ctrl+shift+h. -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ramy Moustafa Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2011 4:40 PM To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sib-access] Re: magnetic lay out and hide empty staves Thanks so much but please, what about my 2nd question?

But I found that it did nothing, sir dave told me that I must unlock my score, but how can I use the magnetic lay out again? And, must I use the optemise staff spacing? 2- if I will give a full partatora, or full score with orchestra to a person, is it better to hide the empty staves or to leave them? Because when I hide them, I save many papers. Any help will be highly abbreciated Cheers: Ramy Moustafa Owner and producer of Harmony recording studios.
