Bug description

This issue relates to playback issue 8 from the discussion here https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/discussions/16674

When playing scores with multiple instruments, playback of the score will invariably jump to the top of the score both on play start, and on page turn.

This happens irrespective of whether staves at the bottom of the score are selected for solo-playback or whether the score is simply focused on that area. See video for an example

The desired behaviour would be to have the playhead remember which areas of the page are in focus and remain at that offset.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create a score using a large number of instruments
  2. Select the string section or zoom in on an area of the score you wish to focus on
  3. press play
  4. score jumps to top of page
  5. scroll back down
  6. playhead moves to new page
  7. score jumps back to top of page
