How do I remove a bass clef staff from a marimba part? (Defaults as a Treble and bass grand staff)

Thanks!

I am not sure what you mean by your word “remove”?!

Do you mean “delete” - as in delete the staff from the entire document?

Or do you mean “hide” - as in hide the staff in certain regions while showing the staff in other regions?
(The hidden staff will still be visible everywhere in Scroll View)

Anyway, both deleting and hiding is done with the Staff Tool.

I used the staff tool to remove the bracket and then delete the bass clef staves as there were no notes on them.

Thanks for the help!
