Numbered instruments in Long/Short Instrument name
From an aesthetic standpoint I'd love if my instrument parts could look like the first image, where the numbers are stacked vertically on each staff and there's the bracket with the general instrument name
I've got my version of doing this in the second screenshot, but it's a little janky and hard to line up (third screenshot, showing an odd number of instruments means the instrument isn't centered)
Additionally it has its issues elsewhere in the UI (fourth screenshot)
Is there an official way to do this? I've searched the forums and handbook but couldn't find anything

There is no way to do it automagically at this time. I have a vague recollection of someone asking about a similar feature and perhaps submitting a Feature Request, but I can't find whether it was ever submitted.
Currently I think (!!!) you could do it by making the Short Name (and probably the Long Name, too?) be just the numbers. Then add the instrument name and abbreviation in a frame of some sort. Not sure how it would work. I would guess that it would be very difficult to set up and that any change in the layout would screw it up.
