Instrument Numbers...
Not sure whether I have written about it before... But can we be able to easily assign instrument numbers in front of every stave as shown in the screenshot?
We could also be able to change them from page to page so we don't have to make a lot of instrument parts for that.

this place seems a bit deserted.
if you tape "instrument numbers" in the search box on the top right , you get this https://musescore.org/en/search/content?keys=instrument+numbers

Yes, although I was suggesting of a more automatic way..
Guess I'll do it with frames for now... but what do you think about a more... "automatic" version? Besides not sure if frames can be placed perfectly where you want.

We could like... go to part properties and have a window that allows us to add up to 4 numbers in front of the system.

The system for naming instruments is being redesigned for MuseScore 4.

Your picture shows parts being named using a numbering system on each staff and a separate name in from of the group. That is exactly what I am talking about.

Ah ok I just think that "numbering system" is another thing. Glad to see it might work like that or similarly in the future :D

Let me mention, as a possibly unimportant aside, that I don't see any value in an instrument numbering system like this. I know it has been done this way for a long time, but so what. I have yet to see a printed part labeled in such a manner. If there are two flute parts on one page, the player's part is labeled flutes 1 & 2. Seems simple, straightforward and clean enough to me to label the part in the score the same way. I have seen scores where this has been done. I realize some people may want the option. It just seems to me that there are a host of other things more important.
Don't forget that for a lot of us, the score is not always the end notation product.

Ye I don't consider it the most important either BUT for me it still is something that Musescore should have: the example with the flutes is the simplest but there can be found more complex ones in an orchestra.. I think.
Uh, I still want to do something about this... I think specifying the numbers of the instruments playing in a stave is important in a big orchestral score especially when you want to save space AND want to use a stave for different instruments in each system.
