Staff playback control
In working with multiple staves in a system, particularly with a grand staff, it would occasionally be helpful to silence an entire staff, or a selected section of a staff, during playback, to hear the parts on the remaining staves alone. This is not the same as silencing a selected voice or instrument in the mixer. I'm not aware that this facility exists. If it does, I'd like to know how to do it.
Consider for example an organ score. Perhaps I want to listen to just one of the three staves in the score to evaluate it critically. So I'd like to be able to silence the other two.

Doesn't work; not possible. As soon as you select a range of two or more notes the Inspector dialog changes to Element Group where that option is not available.
