Most "Harmony" band instruments don't respect specified chord inversions

If I create a song with inversions of the same chord (simple toy example at:
“Inversions Get Ignored” by Dapperdork - Made With Hookpad.)…

I noticed that it doesn’t respect the specified inversions for most (but not all) band instruments for the Harmony section - it appears it’s optimizing for voicings that are easier to play. If I’m using a “Keys” or “Guitars” instrument, it will use the requested inversions, but for most (if not all) other instruments they get ignored (example above uses Piano Right Hand 1/4s which exhibits this behavior)

This messes a bit with experimenting with inversions in chord progressions. Is there an option that I’m missing that turns off this “feature”, and if not, could this be added in as an option?
