I was doing was hiding key sigs, time sigs, bar lines, and repeat
bars, at various stages.
Are you applying those kinds of settings to all staves in a certain
measure? If so, why use a staff style at all, since many of those
things can be turned off in the measure attributes dialog?
Two reasons for doing it all by staff styles. One, as not everything
can be done via measure attributes (including things not visible in the
sample screenshot I gave), it would end up being a mixture of the two
methods, i.e. even more confusing to work with! Secondly, staff styles
give the option of using partial bars.
