"Instrument ordering" menu in Instruments Panel doesn't update instrument ordering #15089

Open Stccl opened 1 year ago

Stccl commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug The "instrument ordering" menu (as seen in the screenshot) doesn't change the instrument order when you choose a new one, unlike if you go to "Add" and change it from here. It does not display the current order as "customized" if it has been customized either. It does however change the brackets.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open a score with a lot of instruments, like one for orchestra
  2. Open said menu
  3. Try to choose a different order
  4. See that only the brackets change and not the order
  5. You can try to put a random order and put the order in the menu to Orchestral, it won't do anything either.

Expected behavior It should change the order of the instruments, the same way the "Add" menu does. It should also say "customized" if that's the case.

Platform information

Additional context The "Add" menu should be renamed to "Add & Edit" or something like that in my opinion, since I didn't think to look there at all to change the order which made me find the bug

FWIW, this is still an issue in the release and in currently builds of 4.0.2. If it's not an easy fix, perhaps the option could simply be removed from the instruments panel?

@njvdberg - I gather from https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/10195 that at one time you had this working?
