Switching between score and part with "w" when you have multiple layouts with the same instrument

Hi everyone,
I’d like to switch between the full score and the part by pressing “w,” but since I’ve created some full score layouts (with some instruments), one of those layouts opens instead of the part layout.

Is there a preference I can set to choose where to switch with “w” (for example, go to the part instead of layout X) when you have multiple layouts with the same instrument?

I hope I’ve been clear; otherwise, I’ll add some screenshots.
Thanks

From my experience, if you’re in a Score Layout and you select a note and press W, the Part Layout that opens is the one containing that instrument and that appears highest in the list in Setup mode, right‑hand column (which allows you to change the “default” by changing the order there).

And when you press W from a Part Layout, the last active Score Layout opens in case you have several, regardless of the order. That’s how I’ve understood it, at least.

I may have found the solution:

I moved all the Full Score layouts I created to the bottom of the Layouts list in Configuration, leaving the order (from top to bottom) as follows:

Full Score
Part Instrument X
Part Instrument Y
Part Instrument Z
Part Instrument N
Full Score X (created by me, therefore customized)
Full Score Y (created by me, therefore customized)

Now pressing “w” from the Full Score switches to the Part (and vice versa) correctly.

I hope this helps someone!
See you next time.
