As a workaroud, you may use delspanx and strikemath. \delspanx{% \begin{align} \strikemath{\dot{x}} & \strikemath{= ax + bu}\\ \strikemath{y} & \strikemath{= cx} \end{align} }% \addspan{ \begin{align} x_{k+1} &= ax_k + bu_k\\ y_k & = cx_k \end{align} } Here, delspanx just removes its argument when noproofreadmark is specified. Otherwise it does nothing. \end{document}
