Comments signposts visibility in condensed staves

Hi,

Is there an option to see the comments signposts in condensed staves? If there is not I would like to make that a feature request.
As an example of why that would be useful: when working with/for someone else and sending a score (a Dorico file) for proofreading, I may have made comments about something refering just to flute I or clarinet II, or whatever, that in the score layout will show in a condensed stave, and I would expect that the co-worker/editor will open that layout and see all the comments I have made. As in the actual version (5.1.10), Dorico will allow the user to select something from a condensed stave in engrave mode and then write a comment but no signpost will be shown (though the signpost will show in the correspondent part layout).
I know that one can open the comments panel in write mode and all the comments can be seen there, with the reference to the correspondent bar, instrument, date and author. Or one can export the layout comments with that information.
In order to show all my comments in the score layout, I have copied (duplicated) the ones in condensed staves to an uncondensed staff.
However I think that the ability to show comments signposts in condensed staves could save some misunderstandings when working in team.

Thanks for considering

This has been requested before, and is on our wish list for the future.
