Description
Issue type
Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)
Description with steps to reproduce
On systems past the first one, horizontal space is reserved for all instrument names even if the staves are not visible.
Steps to repro:
- Create a new score with two staves.
- Set both the "long" and "short" instrument names for the second staff to something lengthy (this is to exaggerate the effect).
- Turn on "automatically hide empty staves" under the score appearance properties, and turn off "don't hide empty staves in first system".
Result: the first system has a normal amount of space for the instrument name, but the second and later systems have excessive indentation (see screenshot below).
Here is the score file: instrument names test.zip
