sorry, I'm using an american keyboard and I typed the wrong key: of
course it's \ and not /

anyway, I meant to say that I was able to hide/show all the notes inside
a variable or command beginning with \ by clicking on the - sign on the

I'll try to study and work on it.
I wonder how other editors, such as Frescobaldi, implement the
