What am I doing wrong? I tried speedy, typed "O" and "H" but it won't hide the rest in the lower staff.

You have to convert the rest to a "real" whole rest first. Plug-ins>Note, Beam and Rest Editing>Change to real whole rest

musicus,

In case you have to hide the default whole rest in many empty measures, consider using a custom staff style that de-selects the option
Display Rests in Empty Measures
