Default Re: To hide the unhidable staff

Hi, Sherry:

Here's another file with the same problem.

The Vocal staff does indeed hide properly when moved to the bottom of the system, however, that really won't work as I'll be distributing this among actual classically-trained musicians who want their score in the proper format.

The attached file shows that the Vocal staff (top staff) hides properly as long as the Solo (organ Solo manual) staff is not hidden, but that it unhides itself when the Solo staff hides. See bars 39 and 45 and again at 107.

I've checked hide for the Solo staff as Vocal staff refuses to hide at all as long as the Solo staff "hide" is unchecked. I don't actually want the Solo staff hidden at all.

It must have to do with the Vocal staff's position at the top of the system. And, indeed, when the Vocal staff is moved to the bottom and the Solo staff becomes the top, the Solo staff doesn't hide when empty, even though "hide" is selected (Bars 39 and 45 again).

So I think that the "top of the staff" position has something to do with it.
