Hi!
How could I obtain the effect of the picture, in order to save space? Thanks!

To add the system dividers, go to Plugin Menu > Scoring and Arranging > Score System Dividers and run the plugin. I'd suggest you save this until all page layout is complete because you might end up repositioning many of them if the system margins change.

But the OP refers to it as indicating missing instruments.
I think we need more information.

I believe what is meant is that, often, when a smaller set of instruments plays for a while, unused instruments are hidden from the score. Often, this means that the ensemble being used allows 2 systems per page. That is when the score system divider is needed so that one sees that there are now 2 systems on the page, and not one.
I hope I am guessing that this is what is needed.

That makes sense. Thanks, Zuill.

All good suggestions, but the OP put that big honkin' yellow circle around the system divider. That's what clued me in to what the question might be.

I suspect he will benefit by reading up on "hiding empty staves" in the documentation.
