To hide an individual object, click the object with your Pointer (it turns orange in color to show it is selected) .

For multiple scattered objects, hold down the Shift key as you click the ones you want (each turns orange in color
when it is selected) .

For multiple objects close to each other, create a highlight box over as many beats or measures as you need . Do
not be concerned about including essential items such as notes and bar lines: these will be unaffected .

then right-click . A context menu appears with Hide as an option .
