Description

  1. Create score
  2. Open a part score
  3. Open the Instruments panel
  4. Click "Add"
  5. Add some instruments
  6. Click OK
    -> BUG 1: the Instruments panel does not update (the new instrument should have appeared there as invisible, but it does not appear at all)
  7. Switch back to the full score
    -> BUG 2: the order in the Instruments panel is now out of sync with the order in the score and in the Add/Remove Instruments dialog

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by creating a score, opening a part score and the Instruments panel, then adding instruments through the Add/Remove Instruments dialog. Trace how the panel refreshes and orders instruments across the part score and full score; done means new instruments appear immediately as invisible and panel order matches the score and dialog.
