notation - hiding measures

Hi all.
I have a problem that I can't seem to solve. I'm working on a score for solo trumpet and orchestra. I have the score printed out nicely, but now want to print the parts. There is a cadenza in the trumpet part, and i simply want to write in the other orchestra parts, "tacet until cue" during the trumpet cadenza. The problem is that if the orchestral part is one sequence in the arrange page, the tacet part becomes 30 or 40 measures long. If I cut out the long tacet part and insert a small "empty sequence, then pack the track as a folder in the arrange page, then on the score page, there is a gap in between the sequences which won't look good as a printed part... Can anyone think of an alternative?

Thanks

For the gap on the score, instead just use a single multi-measure rest for however many bars the cadenza might be, and maybe text in (above or below that multi-measure) "tacet until cue".

I don't know if I answered your question or solved the problem... But it would hide all those measures and just condense them to a single multi-measure rest.

I'm not quite sure I understand you correctly. I think I tried every option with the multi measure rest, and I either: 1. can't get rid of the space between sequences, or 2: end up with a multi measure rest of either 1 measure, with a bunch of empty measures, or end up with a finite number of bars of rest..
What I have done, is to calculate the number of beats of the cadenza (80), and then made 4 bars of a (hidden) time signature of 20/4 to the bar. I have ended up with 4 measures of 20/4 time, and hidden the bar lines. I also wrote above "tacet until cue".... It's just a bit sloppy, and i thought Logic was a little "smarter" than this.
Thank you for your help, and if I have misunderstood you, could you explain it to me again?
Angus
Many thanks

Gus, I am having trouble following this. If you want, email me the file and I will have a look at it.
