Hide system barline, which is found in staff properties, does not work correctly.

In the attached score, do the following:
1. Right-click on "Violin", open staff properties and check the "hide system barline" box.
The system barline disappears as expected.
2. Do the same with "Piano".
Error #1: The system barline reappears next to the Violin part.
Error #2: On the second line, the system barline disappears only next to the upper staff of the Piano part.

Error #1 always occurs if there is a single staff instrument part above a multiple staff instrument part.
Error #2 always occurs if the single staff part is below the multiple staff part.

If there are two multiple staff parts next to each other, Error #2 also occurs and the system barline disappears next to the uppermost staff.
If there are two single staff parts next to each other, the system barline never disappears.

FWIW, my recollection is that this was only intended to work for the top stave(s), to allow for a partial system barline. If your goal is to have no system barline at all, instead see Style / General / Barlines.

That said, this does appear to be a bug according to my understanding of how the option was intended to work. It *should* work to the flute and piano system barlines as far as I know. And it doesn't seem related to the fact that piano has multiple staves - simialr problems occur if I delete the bottom piano staff, also if I turned off Hide empty staves.
