Muting individual voices in choral
working on SSAATTBB, with 4 staves & would like, for example, to mute SS TT BB and then proceed to hear the individual AA voices (to check for possible errors). the piece is highly dissonant and fairly straightforward rhythmically, however it would be helpful to isolate Voice 1 from Voice 2 in playback if I can.

In MuseScore 3, you can do that in the mixer (accessed via F10). There are buttons for each (sub-)voice,

That's what I thought, but I'm not able to mute the voice I want (A 1).
If it worked for A2, why wouldn't A1 work? Maybe the file got corrupted. sigh

As you can see, I added an Alto staff and exploded the staff above it to isolate the track I need to hear.
Not optimal, but will do for now.

It's still not clear why you didn't simply use the "Mute Voice" buttons in the Mixer - that's what they are there for. Right now it isn't clear which of the many staves you actually wanted.

A1 mute works to highlight A2; the reverse has no effect at all. I assumed that the file was corrupted. I need to isolate A1, hence the explosion. (That staff is now hidden until I need it.)
Actually just ran a test: Mute 1 and 2 results in silence, then bar 2 both voices re-emerge, and then mute again for the duration. That don't sound right. imho.

Ah, I think you are seeing the results of a known bug when voices overlap, see #282165: Mute voice produces note that doesn't stop when overlap present. It's already fixed for 3.3

It is possible with close SATB score, using the 'instruments' Women and Men, not with 4 staff SATB and so not with 4 staff SSAATTBB either
Hold on, muting voices is possible (at least in MuseScore 3.2), just individual volume is not.

Thus changing instruments for each of those staves to also be women/men respectively, the desired mixer setup can be achieved.

but that'd result in confusing channel names, Soprano/Alto for the Soprano and the Alto staves, Tenor/Bass for the Tenor and Bass staves

The mute button works best while singers are standing in rehearsal.
