changing the instrument from e.g. recorder to trumpet

• May 24, 2018 - 14:34

Why is it so difficult to change an instrument? Or am I missing something?
I want to change an instrument lets say recorder, into another instrument lets say horn or flute or trumpet.
The only way to do that is to make an extra instrument (horn, or flute or trumpet) copy paste the notes to that line and then delete the recorder-line. Otherwise the sound won't come with it.
Why can't I just change the name of the instrument? With sound change and all?

If I am missing something please tell me what I am doing wrong.

thank you , Monique

This is the Dutch forum and it is polite to write in Dutch here. Since you asked in English I will answer in both English and Dutch.

It is too easy.

To change the instrument for the entire staff see: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/staff-properties#change-instrument

To temporarily change the instrument see: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/mid-staff-instrument-changes

Dit is het Nederlandse forum en het is beleefd om hier in het Nederlands te schrijven. Aangezien je in het Engels hebt gevraagd, zal ik zowel in het Engels als in het Nederlands antwoorden.

Het is te gemakkelijk.

Om het instrument voor het gehele personeel te veranderen, zie: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/staff-properties#change-instrument (Dit lijkt niet goed te worden vertaald naar het Nederlands)

Om het instrument tijdelijk te veranderen, zie: https://musescore.org/nl/handboek/instrumentwijziging-notenbalk
