Instrument voices in Musescore 3 vs. Musescore 4

• Dec 19, 2022 - 20:02

I downloaded the new MUSESCORE 4 and I am loving it very much, except for two things: Musescore 3 had 276 instrument voices to choose from, but the new Musescore 4 only has 79, and a lot of the voices I use are not included in the new Musescore 4. Is there some way to import all the Musescore 3 instruments into Musescore 4?

Second the open scores float freely in the work space. This is disruptive to me. Is there some way to lock their position on the work space so they don't move around?

Thanks

MS Basic still has all of those sounds, but MS4 doesn't have the functionality to select a patch from a soundfont yet. It is on the roadmap for one of the next updates.
As a workaround (if not on linux) you could try using the free Sforzando or Sfizz VSTs which in turn can load the soundfont and does allow selecting a patch from them.
