Description

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Description with steps to reproduce

Found while testing #33943.

Changing visibility of lyrics text in a part causes the Score and part synchronization property for Style/appearance to toggle off. This does not happen for lyrics extenders either when their visibility is toggled with the syllable they are attached to, or when toggling independently of the syllable. Thus the property can incorrectly appear to be synchronized with the main score when in fact it is not.
