Description
Your idea
Allow hiding instrument labels selectively in parts of a score, possibly with Staff type changes.
An example for early vocal music/chant is provided in #32488.
Problem to be solved
#22550 introduced improvements at the score level via the Style dialog. This task concerns hiding a label as an override per instrument and per system.

Research direction
Start by reading the behavior and examples linked from issues #32488 and #22550, including the existing score-level Style dialog changes. Determine how selective instrument-label hiding should interact with parts, systems, and Staff type changes; done means labels can be overridden per instrument and per system in the relevant score parts.
