'Selected Playback' Feature
One feature that would be very useful in Musescore is the ability to have a selected playback feature, similar to what is in Sibelius.
When working on a score, I find it tedious to f10 into the mixer, then solo each instrument I want to hear, change the notes around, then f10 again in the mixer to un-solo said instruments, so that i can hear my changes in relation to the whole score. This process makes it difficult and clunky to switch between playback among only a few instruments to then playback of the entire score
It would be much quicker and easier to have a feature where I can highlight the staves I wish to hear, and when starting playback, only hear the staves I have selected; to then hear the entire score, i simply unselect those staves.
To any devs, or even people savvy with creating plugins for musescore, this feature would definitely be great, if not as a main feature, as a plugin

I believe it's already implemented, just waiting on a way to enable it (eg, maybe it will be Shift+space to kick off that mode, or something else).

When will this feature be enabled? Is it coming soon, or should it be expected much farther down the line?

There is no specific timetable for this. As I said, the code is there, it's just a matter of someone volunteering to re-enable it and make the necessary changes to make it optional.
