You can edit your *.moho file directly with a Notepad (i. e.) to became a Bone Layer in to a Switch Layer (or viceversa) is not difficult, but I'm not in me PC and I can't explain now... I only remember that layer_type 4 is for Bone Layers and layer_type 5 for Switch... you must change that parameters in your layer data (and maybe some parameters more, like Switch specific information...) and and you'll get it... Hope...

PD: Someome that be sure can be more specific :roll:

yeah just changing the layer_type 4 to 5 produces an error.

If you double-click on the layer that you want to make visible/invisible there is a word 'visible' and a box next to it and when there is a tick in the box it is visible and vise versa.

On the timeline it will show up (when it is invisible) in red and when you turn it visible again it will turn back to normal colour.

Hope this helps!
