Designing your score: additional techniques
Hiding in this layout only
If you want the hiding to be “local” to the current layout,
hold down [Ctrl]/[Command] when selecting “Hide/Show”
as described above.
Ö You can also move hidden objects to the layout by
right-clicking the “Hide” marker and selecting “Move to
Layout”.
Viewing hidden objects
The display filter bar (shown by clicking the “Show Filter
View” button on the toolbar) contains two options related
to hidden objects:
• If you activate the “Hidden Notes” option, all hidden
notes in the score are shown.
Deactivating “Hidden Notes” will hide the notes again.
• If you activate the “Hide” option, all hidden objects
(except notes) will be indicated by a “Hide” text marker.
Showing one object
1. Make sure “Hide” is activated on the display filter bar.
2. Click on the “Hide” text marker below the object you
want to display.
The text is selected.
3. Press [Backspace] or [Delete].
The object appears. Undo is available if you change your mind.
Showing all objects
If you select “Hide/Show” from the Scores menu again, all
hidden objects are displayed.
• You can also use the Reset Layout function to perma-
nently display hidden notes and objects, as described in
the section “Reset Layout” on page 613.
Showing a hidden note
While all hidden notes can be made visible by ticking the
Hidden Notes checkbox on the display filter bar, you may
want to make some of them “permanently” visible again:
1. Activate the Hidden Notes checkbox on the display fil-
ter bar.
2. Select the notes that you want to “un-hide”.
In the Preferences dialog (Scores–Use Colors for Additional Meanings)
you can set the color for hidden notes.
3. Double-click one of the notes.
4. Deactivate the Hide Note option in the Set Note Info
dialog and click Apply.
Applications of hiding
Printing scales
If you want to create scale examples, enter the notes and
hide time signatures, bar lines and other unnecessary ob-
jects.
A scale created with hidden bar lines, time signatures etc.
Graphic notation
By hiding bar lines, you can produce graphic notation.
Hiding notes meant for playback only
If you have recorded your music, you may have added glis-
sandos, falls, etc. that sound fine but result in a lot of un-
necessary notes. You probably want to hide those notes
and insert the suitable symbols instead.
Coloring notes
You can use the color pop-up menu on the toolbar to col-
orize selected notes, e.g. for educational purposes. This is
described in detail in the section “Coloring notes” on
page 546.
!
This is not possible when hiding notes, only other
symbols.
