Playback selection for condensed staves?

I don’t think I’ve seen this requested - would it be possible in a future update to select condensed staves, not for editing, but for playback only?

It’s possible to select these staves in galley view or as an uncondensed score, but these can have a lot of staves, especially if players are holding multiple instruments. It would be great, for example, to select the brass section and hear only the brass, even if the score is condensed. I don’t know if it’s technically feasible or not, but thanks for considering!

+1 This would be extremely useful. I often find myself stuck when trying to either audition condensed sections or simply finding something to select to start playback from.

Thanks for the suggestion. I know it doesn’t help when it comes to wanting to play back just the condensed instruments, but you can start playback from a selected barline if you want to hear the whole ensemble.
