Hello everyone.
I have found this in Score Manager. Viola is "hidden". I don't want that. I am not sure why it is hidden.
What to do so that it is not hidden?

It's one of the staff attributes (Staff tool).

Hm... At the staff attributes Viola 1 and Viola 2 (hidden) is completely the same.
I just don't want that musicians don't get music. :shock:

The "Force hide staff" attribute it not checked? How about a staff style?

The "Force hide staff" attribute it not checked.
Staff style is used, but not only in this staff, but in other staves as well, however they don't display this "hidden" attribute.

EDIT:
Yes, the staff style "hidden" is applied at the first measure. Therefore maybe only Viola 2 shows this in the Score Manager. That is not so intuitive.

Thank you Motet again for your help.

It is unfortunate, but at least it's only cosmetic, restricted to the score manager display, I think.
