To skip the legend for a plot you can set ‘HandleVisibility’ property to ‘off’

For the plot in your code

plot(y_l,BSS03,'HandleVisibility','off'); 

If you add or delete a data series from the axes, the legend updates accordingly.

Also, you can specify the legend labels during the plotting commands by setting the ‘DisplayName’ property to the desired text. Then, add a legend.

For the plot in your code

plot(y_l,BSS03,'DisplayName','0.3');
legend;

Hope this helps!
