How to disable a scenario in jbehave?

Question

I am adding meta tag: Meta: skip true in the story file after the scenario. Similarly before the runner I am using @UsingEmbedder(metaFilters = Array("+skip")). This particular scenario should be skipped according to my understanding.

.story File

Scenario: xyz   
Meta: skip    
Given ...

.scala file

@UsingEmbedder(metaFilters = Array("-skip"))    
class foo {
}

I am new to jbehave. So apology in advance if I am not able to form my question properly.
