Description
Your idea
Currently all staff labels are omitted in video export when Reflow to fit video resolution. This is fine (and probably what you would want) for PVG scores and similar, but for mixed ensembles - and particularly with hidden staves - labels are required.
Problem to be solved
See video below. 1) there is no way of knowing which instruments are playing, and 2) there is no indication that the instrumentation changes between systems 1 and 2.
