Description
Suggestions
The instruments in the Your score* section should function similarly to palettes in the Score section in Musescore:
- In the Your score* section you can't move instruments by dragging them like you can do with palettes - same feature should improve UX (or maybe there's a reason behind it?)
- Similarly to palettes' three dots, the make soloist button should appear when you hover over the instrument and not just when you click on it.
- "Make soloist" button just looks ugly (especially when multiple instruments are selected). A simple fix is to just make it smaller (so it doesn't touch the edges).

Research direction
Start in the New score > Choose instruments > Your score section and compare its behavior with palettes in the Score section. Done means instruments can be dragged, the make-soloist control appears on hover, and its selected-state sizing is improved; inspect the existing UI implementation and interaction tests if available.
