You described the most pathological case, however, many cues do not
require this level of effort. Full-measure cues can be hidden in the
score directly using the new blank notation for cues. For partial
measure cues, you can often avoid resorting the 3rd layer if
1. The position of the real rest does not collide with the cue.
or
2. The floating position of the real rest does not collide with cue.
(Depending on layer options this can be different than #1.)
If neither 1 nor 2 is true, then using a 3rd layer is probably the next
best option.

robert, you were suggesting using staff styles... here is the solution i
found, is this what you are doing, or do you have something more ingenious?
layer 1 - real rest in default position
layer 2 - displaced rest to avoid collision with cue
layer 4 - cue notes
cue SC style
- alternate (normal) notation applied to layer 1: show items attached to
notes; do not show notes or items attached to notes in other layers
cue PT style
- alternate (blank) notation applied to layer 1: do not show items
attached to notes; show notes or items attached to notes in other layers
this way you can apply SC in the score to hide all information needed
for the cues but keeping the full measure rest, and when you apply PT in
the part, because there are conflicts, it wipes out the SC style in the
part, leaving only the cue info.
stupid that it requires 3 layers, but it works well i think. i won't
need partial cue measures (cues that continue into the measure where the
cued instrument enters), but i think it might work there as well, with
selective partial measure editing.
