Visibility checkboxes for Staff: 1 and Staff: 2 of a "Classical Guitar + Tab" instrument
I often score in a configuration of an 8bv treble clef staff (set to guitar) and a linked tablature staff.
Whlle editing generally I can fit four to five systems per page, which is fine.
However, when it’s time to print I would like to:
a) easily hide tablature the tablature staff so I can fit 8 treble clef systems per page
or
b) easily hide the treble clef so I can fit 8 tablature systems per page
I considered generating Parts, but the treble clef and the linked tablature clef seem inextricable (i.e. not Part-able.) And even so, if I could get that to work, it looks like I’d have to reenter all the line breaks, spacing, etc. which is a deterrent from using Parts.
So I tried the Instrument window where MuseScore offers a Visible checkbox for various instruments.
There MuseScore shows a checkbox the Guitar instrument as a whole, but shows no checkboxes for Staff: 1 and Staff: 2 — which is exactly what I need.
I wonder if the code already exists beneath the surface for the described show/hide functionality .... but there’s simply no UI checkboxes to avail the user.
If there’s not presently any foundation for this functionality (checking the visibility of Staff: 1 and Staff: 2) please consider it a request.
Thanks!

"please consider it a request."
Already filled, see: #121271: Make "Visible" checkbox in Instruments dialog available for individual staves within an instrument
And a workaround (to be used with care, probably still), with a TAB staff only in part, but one can obtain both Standard staff + Tab in parts : https://musescore.org/en/node/274030#comment-842930
