Dear Kieren, thanks for Your help, but I guess, would be still to complicated. Because I have too many bar changes in the score and too many other things in the Time-Sig, like ritarrdando, etc. Or is it maybee possible too hide the Staff, but not too hide the TimeSignature? I don't know, how to do

shiftOn doing.. nothing?
