Description

Your idea

Since now there is separate dynamics playback for different voices, would it be possible to also implement separate arco and pizz in the same instrument (say, for double staves or LH pizz)

Also, in orchestral parts, there should be a "solo" setting so that you can have two staves on one instrument, where one is solo and the other is "gli altri" - this would be very helpful for orchestral scores.

Problem to be solved

See above.

Research direction

The issue does not identify files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating the existing separate dynamics playback implementation and determine how instrument voices represent arco, pizzicato, solo, and gli altri markings. Done means defining and implementing the requested per-voice behavior for double staves and orchestral parts.
