It's still not completely clear what you're trying to achive, at least to me. If you want to hide a complete bar with notes and stuff in it, you'll have to explicitly hide everything that's in it. But that doesn't really make sense. If you want to have an empty space within a given staff, you

Hi Karl, perhaps I just don't get your point. But sometimes it helps if you don't insist on a particular way of solving a problem but rather describe the problem/the goal and be open for the best solution. A bar is not an object on itself but it is there because there is music between two points
