Dorico - Create alternate layout to show/hide Sustain PEdal

Starry_Music said:

I am also posting this in the Steinberg Dorico forum and the Facebook Dorico Forum but no solution yet. New to Dorico and a little confused. I am writing a piano piece and I have been told it is possible to save seperate Layouts with sustain pedal visible (in one) and invisible (in the other). However this is not working. Here is what I wrote on the forum:
In my piano piece I set “Set Local Properties/Locally”
I duplicated the layout.
Both property panels say “Set Local properties Locally”.
I hid the Sustain Pedal line in the second layout
It also vanished in the first layout. Which I do not want.
At least I assume I am toggling different layout. I go into Setup and select the layout on the right hand column. Yes?

The easiest way I know is:

1.- Go to Setup
2.- Select your piano part (Right column)
3.- Right click it and select Duplicate
4.- Rename as e.g. Piano No Pedal
5.- Now go to Engrave mode
6.- On the top window where you have your parts, the "toolbar", make sure you select Piano No Pedal and not full score or the other piano part.
7.- Click or select your first pedal sign, usually by just clicking on it.
8.- Go to Edit and click Select More, do this a couple of times to be sure.
9.- Now open the bottom panel and Set Local Properties: Locally
10.- On the first column (of the panel, under common) you'll see Colour. Activate it and set this to white. If your parts are set to slightly beige, then you will still see it, but it won't print or at least you won't see it.

You could also add Scale to 1 and disable hooks and stuff, this will make it even more 'invisible'. Your other piano part should remain intact/untouched.

PS: Now that I think of it, you can probably do this in Write mode too.
