Description

Your idea

Especially for scores with many instruments, it would be helpful if the tab with the score were fixed so that you could quickly switch between all parts and the score.

Problem to be solved

Faster switching between score and non-visible tabs of existing parts , as the score tab moves away when the non-visible parts are selected.

Verify how the score tab moves when non-visible part tabs are selected. Done means the score tab remains pinned and quickly accessible while switching among all parts.
