Hello all, using finale 26, & trying to figure out how to get invisible time signatures to appear in certain (i.e. some) measures of certain staves (as opposed to all measures of all staves). Thanks, in advance!

You can do that with a Staff Style.

Just in case you are not familiar with Staff Styles --

Staff Tool
Staff Menu
Define Staff Styles
Unclick Time Signatures
At Style Name click New and give it a name

Now when you go to Staff Menu > Apply Staff Style to > Score and Parts, you will see your newly created style in the list.
