It would be fine, in the Lead sheet Window, to show when an instrument is muted by highlighting the concerned bars by adding a special color in the background.
This color would be user defined in the Display Options window.

An example of application : for example, you want to play the piano part, but the piano is muted from bar 5 to bar 12, and then from bar 45 to bar 52. So when looking at the piano score, you wouldn't need to remember you must not play from bar 5 to 12, an then from bar 45 to bar52.
Other users could find other applications of this feature.

It should be a user option.

It would be a nice feature, useful and easy to implement.
