Can anyone explain why I can't hide the empty percussion staves?

The posted file is as I want it, with stems flipped and rests moved with JW Change; however, even with nothing entered, I can't hide them when empty. Staff attribute is set to allow hiding. Groups Attributes have the percussion staff as its own group, and set to hide normally.

Happy Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, or whatever else you may (or may not) be celebrating!

It works for me. Staff Tool, select all measures on the staves you want to hide, then to Staff Menu - Hide Empty Staves.

OK, I'll copy into yours. I hate it when that happens!

Many thanks!
