Q: Hiding alias in score

If you're willing to write a "condensed" score, avoiding all the Verse and Chorus repetitions, drawing score repetition bar symbols instead, according to the User Guide (Chapter 20: View and edit music notation/Display and edit aliases in the Score Editor, currently at the end of page 617) it is supposed to be a option (File > Project Settings > Score > Global, select or deselect the Show Alias/Loops checkbox) which is not there to be unchecked.

I did some research and it used to be there, as you can see in the official Spanish knowledge base, but it is not anymore:

It has been there in previous versions as well, like in version 9:

I find this option extremely useful to create "real life band scores", not needed for a full orchestra usage, but definitively yes for a small team, to create "Real Book like" scores (just defining the skeleton of the theme exposition to the jazz band) or, even more interesting, to register your work in a more simplified and generic way.

 

The other way around is to create two projects in Logic: One with the full recordable version and other with the excerpt to present as a condensed printable score. I guess this is a step back, please, bring that option on again.
