Removing Instrument Name in Staff/Part Properties changes clef from Bass to Treble

Related issues:

I have a piano duet score with the second instrument only showing the bass part.

I need to hide the instrument name (the whole score if for piano only, so it's redundant).

  • Right click the second instrument.
  • Select the Staff/Part Properties pop-up dialog
  • Clear the Long and / or Short Instrument Name
  • Click Apply

Observe:

  • the instrument clef changes from bass to treble and moves down one octave.

Note: if you do the same clearing of instrument name in the Instruments panel, there is no issue.
