To hide the unhidable staff

The only thing I can think of as a culprit is that originally the 4 vocal staves (SATB) were on channels 1, 2, 3 and 4, while the 3 organ staves were on 1, 2 and 3 but on a different midi port.

If that's the case, then it's something that somehow embedded itself at setup. I tried assigning all the staves to the same playback device, and that top staff still would not hide.

The work around that I found for hiding them all properly is to put the instruments at the top rather than the vocal staves (eg. Organ(Solo/Accomp) and Pedal at the top). When I did that, the staves that should have been hidden did hide properly. Different, but hopefully workable for you.

I'm at a loss for the cause of the problem, so if you find anything that consistently shows the problem, please do let me know.

ttfn,
