FWIW, this was implemented at one time then backed out after too many complaints from people not understanding why only part of their score was playing, and I can sympathize with that. I think the feature should be added back but accessed by some other command like Shift+space or whatever, so normal playback does what it always has but the new feature is available when desired.. So far though, no real proposals for how that would work.

Looking at the attached picture I think the suggestion was that only the selected range would play. This would be a Good Thing. It would, of course, restrict one to playing selected instruments on adjacent staves, but even with this limitation I can imagine myself using it quite frequently to play a few measures of a single part rather than having to go to the mixer and hit the solo button, then go back and hit it again after playing the few measures I want to hear.

Right, but the problem was, people would hit play when there just happened to be a selection that was completely irrelevant to what they wanted to hear (eg, they clicked a single measure of a single staff) and couldn't figure out why all instruments wouldn't play. It's a valid complaint I think, with a simple solution> there needs to be two commands.

Yes, I see now. It could be confusing. A separate Play Selection command sounds nice (or, in the early stages of some of my compositions, not so nice perhaps ;-) ).
