In MS3 if you go to "Edit" then "Instruments" and uncheck "Visible" next to an instrument it still allows the instrument/voice to be heard in playback.

In MS4 if you make an instrument/voice "hidden" then it forces it to be muted and you cannot manually unmute it in playback controls.

"Workaround" is to unhide the voice/instrument - not ideal.

This is a deliberate change due to the new instrument design. Now, if you want an invisible playback staff, hide the staff itself, not the instrument. Additional controls may be implemented in a future update.
