Pizz doesn't work any more (MS 2.0)
Hey guys,
I've finally downloaded MS 2.0 (I've used MS 1.3 for 4 years now) and am fairly happy with it, but there's a massive problem: If I want to add a pizz and change the channel/MIDI action to "pizzicato", nothing changes in the sound?
Comments
To change to pizzicato at mid staff, See:
https://musescore.org/en/node/35961#mid-staff-change
Regards.
For 2.0, we added the abiltiy to only change a single voice, or to change different voices to different sounds. But that means you have to actually press one of the voice buttons to tell MuseScore which voice(s) you wish to change.

Thank you both so much! I didn't get the single voice thing... Now everything is fine!
I've got pizz to work on a one bar file, but when I try it on a long one it does not, it the first case the midi dialog box gives the options "normal,pizz,tremelo" in the second it is just "normal"
also are there harmonics and con sordino options?

The options are present if the instrument supports them. Pizz etc are present only for stringed instruments, mute for trumpet. For other types of sound changes, you need an Instrument change from the text palette - see the Handbook under "Mid-staff instrument change", also "Change and adjust sounds".
As always, when asking for help, it is best to attach the specific score you having problems with and precise step by step instructions to reproduce the problem. Otherwise we can only offer very general advice rather than being about to tell you right off the bat exactly what you need to do.

file attached, pizz is now the only thing in it which is not working....

Seems something went wrong with the instrument. just change that staff to violin (it is violin already, I know, but change it anyway) after that the staff text properties should allow to switch to pizz
See attached

Was this the result of MusicXML import? If so, posting the original MusicXML file might help understand how the score got into that state. Otherwise, anything else you can remember about how the score was created in terms of how the violin staff came to be?

all part of turning sibelius 2.0 to musescore 2, looks like op.1 should be done soon, still have op2-8... I have had a quick look at the files - they are in a bad state....

As I said, posting the original Music XML file would help us see how this happened and perhaps fix it.

pizz done, it sounds terrible.... hopefully as this works when con sord, senza vib and so forth become available they should be easy.
I tried uploading the original and got:
The selected file originalop1.xml could not be uploaded. The file is 2.8 MB exceeding the maximum file size of 2 MB.

Feel free to experiment with other soundfonts to see if another sounds better to you. See the Handbook under Soundfont for more info.
As for uploading the MusicXML, maybe upload it to somewhere like Dropbox then include a link here?

I have a collection of sound fonts, at the moment using timbres of heaven, hope to try merlin soon....
I have accounts - dropbox, a drrive and so on, I get online in a public library, so it is a matter of finding the online time...

You could compress the XML file as a ZIP archive and upload that. Google it if you are unsure how.

yes, know how to .zip, does this site let zip upload?
in any case I think that t is on musscore com as raw opus one
