Description
Your idea
A feature that mutes whole choirs of instruments, so you can listen to only one or two choirs. Very rough visualization:
Problem to be solved
It is cumbersome to mute every other instrument in a full score if one wants to listen to just the strings, for example. This feature would help to streamline the workflow.
Prior art
No response
Additional context
Admittedly, there are some problems with this idea, (e. g. if someone has an unconventional score order, then there may not be any recognizable choirs), but something like it is needed.
Note: Not the same as #24800
