Show or hide some items in the palette depending on the selected instrument
I wrote this because it would be nice to have a function that does not display certain symbols on certain instruments in the palette. For example, selecting piano sheet music hides guitar finger numbers and string symbols, selecting a string symbol hides pedals, and so on.
It came to my mind while I was making orchestral scores. It would be nice to have this feature because some symbols have no reason to be used on a particular instrument.
For example, the sustain pedal symbol (𝆮, 𝆯) is only used in piano sheet music, and the up bow symbol (𝆪 ) and down bow symbol (𝆫 ), 'pizz,' and 'arco.' are only used in string instruments.
Also, keyboard instruments cannot play microtones. But strings and trombones can play microtones. harpsichord cannot play crescendo and decrescendo.
And when I was making piano sheet music, I sometimes confuse finger numbers with guitar left hand numbers.

That's an interesting idea! Meanwhile, though, you can certainly create custom palettes and custom workspaces, so when working on piano music you only use your piano palette or workspace, etc. It won't switch automatically, but it does work well otherwise.
