Description
Your idea
It would be nice if there were an option to combine notes for multiple voices.
On the left in PrintScr are the 1st and 2nd voices; on the right is a chord in the 1st voice.
Problem to be solved
An option to "Combine multi-voice notes with the same stem direction" would be helpful.
Prior art
No response
Additional context
OK. I can make the flag/bar invisible for one vote. But it's a lot of work to make them all invisible.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the attached polyphonic example in MuseScore and inspect the existing handling of notes, voices, stems, flags, and bars. Define the option's behavior for notes in multiple voices with the same stem direction, then verify that the resulting notation matches the requested combined presentation without requiring manual invisibility changes.
