Select different staves not adjacent in score page for listening without using mixer

Your idea

Currently, we cannot select different staves which are not adjacent with each other to listen to their sounds. We can only do that if we select different staves in adjacent position. My idea is to make it possible to listen to different staves that are not adjacent with each other directly on the score page without having to use the mixer. The reason is for efficiency and it is much faster compared to opening up mixer and mute or solo instruments we want.

Problem to be solved

With pressing a key, say Ctrl, and select staves (using mouse) we want to highlight for listening, we are able to listen to different staves that are not adjacent with each other, without having to open up mixer and use the mute or solo button. For example, I want only to listen to clarinets and trumpets directly on the score page, but don't want to listen to French horns, so I just press Ctrl and select clarinets and trumpets to highlight them, and press spacebar. I will then only hear the sounds from those two instruments.

Prior art

I can easily do this in a DAW but never on music notation software.
