Playing non-visible instruments/parts - please restore musescore 3 behaviour
I use Musescore to generate practicevideos for the different voices of our choir. To do that, I use the normal choir score e.g. Sopranos/Altos stave and Tenor/Bases stave and create separate staves for each voice.
All staves show up in the mixer, so I can mix sound so that one voice is in foreground and the other voices are in the background. Now, for playback I want the Soprano/Altos stave and Tenor/Base stave to be visible and the others invisible. This used to work in Musescore 3, but in Musescore 4 only instruments/staves that are visible are being played.
IMHO this is a very unneccesary change, the Musescore 3 behaviour where soundmuting is done in the mixer and viewing is independently switched in instrumentview is far better.

There is a workaround already mentioned here somewhere. In the instrument panel click on the little triangle next to the open eye and close the eye of the clef. This will hide it but it will play.
