Ignore 8va and Pedal marking

[ErlingIv]

Your idea

Be able to have a parameter "ignore" for a pedal setting and/or 8va. settings.

Problem to be solved

No problem, just an idea. But for piano scores with lots of pedal settings, it is not possible to change the instrument to organ and keep the pedal settings. That sound quite bad! So a flag to ignore them would be useful.

Additional context

Perhaps an idea also for v4?

Please request for Mu4, https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/new/choose

Other than that I'd welcome your PR for adding this feature ;-)

Considering how easy it is to removed those pedal and ottave lines (right-click, select all similar in staff, Del), I'm not sure this is worth the effort

[ErlingIv]

Thanks for feedback, but I do not agree: changing from piano to organ and deleting all pedal settings to get reasonable playback and reenter the pedal setting again to get piano playback is cumbersome. As for your argument: that can be used for other elements that today can be toggled on/off by play/do not play. Why not simply delete the stuff you do not want to play. It’s easy to select and delete.

And is it such a big programming effort? (I have proposed this for V4 as you requested)

[Jojo-Schmitz]

So you want a play property for ottava and pedal lines? A fair request, do it for MuseScore 4, and once implemented there I'll see whether it can get backported. Or, even better, whether someone implements it for Mu3 and makes a PR.

I'll be watching #21104

21104 has been merged into master (so will be in 4.4), need to check whether a backport is possible.
