Description

Your idea

There are several parameters that can be edited in parts without being reflected into the main score, The play checkbox isn't one of them. That could be changed.

Problem to be solved

The main purpose is that there is currently no way to make chords reflect on all parts, or a subset of them, so they have to be manually copypasted, then desynced in Style/appearance, then made invisible and to not play in the main score.
This, however, means that they don't play in the part either.
To be able to set them to play in the part, but not in the score, would help a lot in finalising parts.
