Sorry David I will work on quoting :) Straw cow was a good call. I withdraw.

So, again. Kieren knows the solution. He hides these staves selective it
"all the time" in his scores. But he has not helped Andrew yet. Why? Why has
nobody offered this "solution" if it's common knowledge to all who know the
manual line by line? The problem remains and there is no real help that I
see yet other than stating "I can do it. It's possible".

I do take back my original claim. I should have said it the way I did the
second time so apologies. :))
