I am doing a piano part for Jazz Ensemble. For most of it, I want a single staff with chord symbols. For some of it (at the beginning, for example), I want to show two staves for left and right hand. Attached is an image of the way I WANT it to look.

However, when I try to hide the left hand for just the areas desired, it hides ALL of the left hand everywhere. How do I get it to hide the left hand selectively?
