Hi everyone,

I want to be able to hide flags on specific eighth notes. I'm doing some graphical notation, and so some of the eighth notes still need flags. Others do not.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks
Nick

You need to hide a flag, right?

I am not sure whether you need to hide the stem, too?

Anyway, you can do it with
Special Tools Tool > sub-tool Custom Stem Tool.
To hide the flag, create a custom stem without flag - the Custom Stem Tool also serves as a “Custom Flag Tool”.
