Uncheck "Show brackets when spanning one staff" should work for linked staves

• Dec 31, 2022 - 18:34

Currently, when all but one staves in a bracket are hidden, the bracket is hidden when "Show brackets when spanning one staff" is unchecked. When brackets are nested, as long as more than one stave is visible in the most inner bracket, the whole stack is visible, which is arguably expected behavior. Also, brackets that only span one staff to begin with is not affected by this switch, which is really nice.

However, in the situation that a bracket joins a pair/group of linked staves with some other staves, when all other staves are hidden and only the joined pair is visible, I think the bracket should be hidden when the said preference is unchecked.

I don't yet have a good understanding of how linked staves work, so I'm not sure if this nuance is possible at all. I guess it can be tricky to leave brackets that only span the linked staves unaffected, as per the case of single staff brackets. However, I still think this worth suggesting and want to get your ideas.
