Hi,

I'm curious to know if it is possible to create a Finale document that uses a mixed system of staffs. For example, let's say I want the first 8 measures to consist of a single treble clef staff - then the next 4 to contain two staffs of treble & bass - then back to one staff.

Although I could create lots of rests - I was wondering if a mixed system of one & two staffs were possible - to create a document that was a little more compact.

Thank you for your help!

Staff tool and menu : Hide empty staves (in one or several systems)
A staff style can also hide a staff in a system.
