The "Hide instrument name if there is only 1 instrument" should also apply when there is 1 instrument *visible*
I've made a score with multiple staves but I hide them all but one, because the lead sheet is about the lead instrument with some additions regarding the other ones, but doesn't need the other instruments to be laid out.
I've checked the "Hide instrument name if there is only 1 instrument" option, but the instrument name remains visible.
I guess this is because that option does not take into account that all but one instruments are not visible.
Should it be nice to take into account the visibility of the instruments with that option ?
Someone could suggest me to do this with parts, but it isn't the same purpose. The part for the lead instrument has no additional information while the main sheet is a kind of summary of the entire piece.

Makes sense indeed, at least for this case. See #90956: "Hide instrument name if there is only 1 instrument" doesn't work if there is only one visible instrument but others exist - apparently it's been this way a long time but generates relatively few complaints. I'd be a little afraid there is some other case where you would want the name to appear, although I am not sure what. Anyhow, the workaround is to simply delete the name.
