If you’ve hidden a staff using one of the Force Hide Staff options in the Staff Attributes dialog box, Finale displays “(hidden)” after the name of the staff in the Staff Attributes for drop-down list menu in the Staff Attributes dialog box.

To show "force hidden" staves

1. Click the Staff tool  . The Staff menu appears.
2. Choose Staff > Edit Staff Attributes. The Staff Attributes dialog box appears. Choose the hidden staff from the Staff Attributes for drop-down list menu, which provides a complete list of all staves in the score. (Or, use the arrow controls to select the hidden staff from the Staff Attributes for drop-down list menu.)
3. Click to deselect Force Hide Staff in the Staff Attributes dialog box. The staff will reappear when you return to the document.
4. Use the arrow controls to choose another hidden staff and deselect Hide Staff to display the staff in the score.
5. Repeat the process for every hidden staff you want displayed again, then click OK when you’re done.
