Description
In the Timeline, it used to be possible (via right-click menu) to hide individual rows in the top pane - the time signature, barlines, etc. Right-click no longer does anything. It was never good to bury this option in the right-click menu anyhow, but an icon to restore those controls would be nice, so you can easily create a more streamlined timeline.
Also, there are visibility toggles for the instrument rows. These used to hide the instrument in the score itself. These controls are present but no longer work. Rather than worry about fixing this, I propose those just be removed, since this functionality is in the instruments panel now.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Timeline behavior described: right-click the time signature and barline rows, then test the instrument-row visibility toggles. Done means restoring a clear way to hide and show the top-pane control rows, while removing or correcting the non-working instrument-row toggles as specified.
