Collapsible staffs and visibility property 'Top staff only'

When I have a score with multiple staffs and I use the Visibility property 'Top Staff Only', then it's indeed only printed on the top staff, according to the staffs selected in the Page Setup.
But when I use collapsible staves this does not work, if the staff that's really the top staff on the print preview is not the top staff according to the page setup.
Thus my question is : how to accomplish that something is only printed on the staff that's really the top staff?
Always look on the bright side of life!

Create a control staff with the items you always want to see.
Don't collapse it.

You can wish that NoteWorthy would adopt your view of what the 'Top Staff' really is.
FWIW, I wouldn't count on your wish being fulfilled:

The top staff is the controlling staff. It is the only place where system breaks can be forced. This is true even when the top staff is collapsed.
