There can be a number of reasons why you want to hide objects on the score from your monitor and printouts, including:

Hide certain objects to reduce score clutter, temporarily .

Have Notion respond to a marking during playback (and .WAV file output) you do not want displayed in a printed

score to live musicians .

Place warning text, fingering, or other information-only marks to a score that can be hidden or

displayed in a few clicks .

This feature does not include essential score items, such as notes and bar lines . However, you are able to hide rests .

Hide Score Object

1 . Complete one of the following .

To hide an individual object, click the object with your Pointer (it turns orange in color to show it is selected) .

For multiple scattered objects, hold down the Shift key as you click the ones you want (each turns orange in color
when it is selected) .

For multiple objects close to each other, create a highlight box over as many beats or measures as you need . Do
not be concerned about including essential items such as notes and bar lines: these will be unaffected .

2 . Go to the Menu bar and select Edit > Hide .

» The object (or objects) disappear from sight and will not print . If, instead, they turn a light gray color, then you

have View > Show > Show Hidden Items in the Menu bar enabled . Click this again (so the checkmark disappears) if

you want the object(s) to completely disappear .

Alternately, you can right-click a single mark or highlight over multiple marks and

then right-click . A context menu appears with Hide as an option .
