Description
Your idea
Ability to mute/solo tracks on the mixer through shortcuts.
Problem to be solved
I use musescore for practicing along with the track and often mute the track and keep the metronome going during playback.
Prior art
I was previously using a plugin on MS 3 that did the same thing.

Research direction
Start by locating the mixer’s existing mute and solo controls, then inspect how MuseScore defines and dispatches keyboard shortcuts. The work is done when users can trigger mute and solo for mixer tracks through shortcuts during playback, with behavior matching the existing controls.
