Description

Describe the bug
I don't know if this is a bug, but if you have modified the bracketing from Musescore's default system, when you add/remove an instrument, the bracketing resets back to the default. This is annoying because then you have to go back and redo the bracketing to be like how you want. I would prefer if the new instrument just went into the bracketing you already put in. Say you have all of your woodwinds bracketed together and you add a clarinet, can the bracketing still encompass all woodwinds instead of resetting the whole score?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Modify existing bracketing
  2. Add any instrument
  3. Notice how Musescore will reset all brackets to the default forcing you to redo the bracketing again.

Expected behavior
I expect my new instrument to be added within the existing bracketing that I put there.
