If I understand you correctly, while viewing the score you apply the staff style (to score and part), then you go to the part, and remove the staff style from the part, right?

A simpler way is that you apply the staff style to the score only:

Staff menu > Apply Staff Style To > Current Part/Score…

2) You can edit the Slash Notation staff style so that it hides chord symbols.

If you need visible chord symbols at some places in the score (and hidden chord symbols at other places, consider using two different Slash Notation staff sttyles: one that hides chords, and another that does not hide chords.

Hello Peter!

Thanks, the "Apply Staff Style To" had escaped me and, combined with the Slash Notation/Chords Off solution does solve my problem.

It's still a tiny bit more complicated than I'd wish (wouldn't it be nice to have a separate tool to turn chords on/off for each staff / part), but after I decided to just clear all staff styles I had previously applied and start over with the new method, it was relatively painless. 

Thanks again!! :)

If you need to turn chord symbols off for all the measures in the entire staff, then use the Staff Attributes instead of using a staff style.

Staff Attributes are “global” - a staff style can be applied “locally”.

Nice! That's another option. I can, say, print all the parts, then turn chords off on the staves I don't want them on and print the score. Thank you very very much for your time and for helping me out!

It can be even simpler:

You can have the chords display in the parts.

And in the score you can have the chords hidden where you do not need them.

Staff styles can be different between score and parts.

In the score you can use the Staff Attributes to hide the chords where you do not need them.

Then, in the parts, use a staff style to show the chords again.

(or do it “the other way around”: Show chords via Staff Attributes, then hide the chords in the score via a staff style)
