Marks and metronome marks per staff group

Hi.  I am wondering about the issue referenced in a thread
on this list that I found from early 2012 [1], namely, the
question whether there is a way to have metronome and
other marks appear not only at the top of a full score, but
also (for example) above the first violin line (or whatever
is the top line of the strings, in a frenched score, or not
at all if all the strings are silent on that page).  I think
the question in the proper lingo is whether it is possible
to add or remove the relevant engravers in the staff group
context.  I've tried and had it not work.

One person in that thread said he was going to file a bug
report, so I thought maybe something had changed by now.  Is
there a way to accomplish this result now?

Just for context, an oft-cited reference at least in the
U.S. is the Modern Orchestra Lbrarian's Association "Music
Preparation Guidelines" document, which, on page 4, in the
second paragraph under the section titled "The Music," says:
"All tempo indications should appear above the top staff and
above the first violin line on each score page." [2]
