MuseScore 4 only plays one instrument at a time
I've found that when dealing with scores that have multiple instruments, playing from any given point often only results in playback from one instrument. Selecting a rest or deselecting and reselecting sometimes fixes it, but it's inconsistent. Is there any way to remedy this?

I think in MuseScore 4, if you select a measure, it only plays that instrument, but if you select a note or a rest, it plays all of them. It's a new feature. Not sure if this is what happening, but just trying to help.

I agree that this is probably what's happening, especially because you said it was inconsistent.

I have the same problem. Is it a feature of the app or are my settings wrong somewhere?
I have the same problem for an orchestral score. I tried clicking on an empty bar and a rest and still nothing played back. And it is also sporadic, for me. Sometimes it plays all orch, sometimes it doesn't.

Are you all using the settings here? https://musescore.org/en/node/339915
When everything is working, this is what should happen: Select a note or rest, all instruments play. Select a measure, only that instrument plays. Every time. But your playback has to be working.

Thank you so much for that information. I have wasted a lot of time while writing music with this problem. Just click on one note and every instrument plays!
If you select multiple notes at a time, only the selected instruments will play. You can see it opening the mixer with the F10 key.
