hi david, you could possibly (depending on the
rest of the score) get around that problem more
effectively by simply dedicating layer 4 (for
example) to the hidden things in your score and
setting it globally to not affect spacing.
another advantage of having your score notation
(that which is visible) always in layer 1 (and 2
for piano parts, etc.) is that you would need to
switch less between layers when
editing/correcting the score when using tools
like articulation.
although i suppose you do it the way you
mentioned with layer 4 set to not play back.
then i would put all totally normal notation that
does not require special playback in layer 1 (and
2), playback notation in layer 4 (set to not
affect spacing and hide when inactive) and
"visible" notation for playback in layer 3
(uncheck stems up if music in other layers), this
way no need for a staff style to hide layer 4.
