Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the attached SoloInstrumentBug.zip in MuseScore Studio: solo one instrument, then remove it and observe the remaining instruments. Trace the solo and instrument-removal interaction until the mute state is updated; done means removing the soloed instrument leaves all other instruments audible, with coverage for the reported steps.
