I would also want to know how to do this basic layout setting which all
other notation Programs have done since the dawning of time. Select staves,
hide, nothing else effected by it. Select the staves you desire to hide and
they hide. You shouldn't have to sacrifice the entire score hiding staves
for this. Lilypond is so bizarre sometimes with things. Why is it not easy
to select staves to hide and they hide? Why do you need a complete score
hiding only? This really should be fixed.

Please Andrew email and share if you ever solve this thank you!!!!
