A more practical Hidden staff feature.

Still another wish...
To be able to apply an instrument change to several staves at the same time. I use a lot Hidden instrument to hide staves in contemporary music, and I have to do it staff by staff, which is a very hard work for a big orchestra score. I have also the problem with the names at the beggining of the staff: when I put the Hidden instrument name too close to the beggining of the staff, its name desapears (if the measure is empty, with a default whole rest, that happens just passed the rest which is quite far away from the "Hidden staff" should begin). Then I have to create hidden rests to allow to begin the Hidden instrument closer to the clef without staff name is automatically hidden. And that for each staff... (I cannot copy the yet hidden measures to the other staffs because the restored instrument name after the hidden measures is different at each staff...).
To have a plug-in to do that would be fantastic!
Thanks for reading,
Xavier.
