Description

Your idea

Allow roman numerals to be used for instrument numbering.

Problem to be solved

We should be able to support a common convention that section players (e.g. orchestral strings) use roman numerals while single players use Arabic numerals.

@avvvvve Possibly there should be a toggle in Style per instrument section (see screenshot from Style > Instrument names > Group names for reference), and/or a switch for individual instruments in Instrument/staff properties.
