[img]I have this symbol in my piece and just can't delete it. Happens every time there is a new staff system. I can't click on it. And I can't find it using filter for symbol. How can delete it? Went through all my individual parts and I don't see it anywhere. Image attached. Thanks!

Answer: it is a "separator".

House Styles > Engraving Rules > Instruments allows you to set the options for system separators.

Hope this helps someone else. Very frustrating that you can't click it or identify what it is.

It's in the manual. Anyone used to orchestral scores would likely have come across this at sometime. System separators are older than dirt.

Glad you found the solution.
