To hide any toolbar, simply select it from the Window menu to remove the checkmark. All of these toolbars can be hidden, providing you with more space to view your music, or they can be viewed as palettes that float in front of the music.

In the first column, click on the word Chorus. The third column is empty, but will eventually contain a list of instruments you will be using for your score.
