The same string quartet as last time. I open the piece's settings, go to the Numbering tab, and move the numeral to the other side of the name. '1. Violin' becomes 'Violin 1' in the Musicians pane as I do it.
Which is what Magnus asked for in the comments to the last post. What's actually new here is narrower than it looks: the setting has existed for months. Numeral form, placement and full stop were specified, implemented, and held by thirty-seven tests, and nothing in the running program could reach any of them. A piece could be set to Roman numerals only from a test. The window is what makes the last unreachable part of the semantic model reachable by a person. '1. Violin' is the German ordinal form and 'Violin 1' the Anglo-American one. Ooloi holds an opinion about neither. The Accidentals tab goes past on the way. Pause there if you're curious.

The parts are still called "1. Violin" etc after the change. Will this be changed by a different setting? I assume that if you first rename the musicians and then add the parts, the will get the new format, like "Violin 1"?

I guess that if you do it in this order first add the musicians, then from these add layouts/parts, which will use the musician names, and then rename the musician names, you can just rename the parts manually by "expand" the parts in the list and type in a new name.

Yes, I noticed that too -I think you actually have found a bug, or rather an omitted consequence chain. Let me take a look at it during the weekend.
