I am using Finale 26 for pc. I would like to hide the staff lines in just a few measures but keep the notes then return to the regular 5 lines. I don't want to hide the entire staff. I want to keep it in place without the lines. I think I've done this before but can't figure out what I did. Thank you.

Set up a new staff style, and apply it only to those measures.

Thank you. I finally figured out how to do this yesterday. I was skipping the step Apply to Current Part/Score.
