How to play different instrument on same system
Good evening, I'm in need of help.
On the score, which I send, by the Tenor, you will find two different voices. I would like to have a different instrument per voice. Is this possible and if yes, how is it done.
Thanks
goudse

The 'instrument' used needs to have different channels setup, for each of which you can have different sounds.
See for ecample the 'instruments' "Women" and "Men", but also almost all strings and most brass.
I've manually tweaked your score to have 2 channels for Tenor

Thanks, but I'm sorry, I don't understand your reply. I saw that you added I+II to the tenor part, but the sound is still the same as my original score.
Could you please be so kind to explain?
Thanks

You can now assign different sounds to Tenor I and Tenor II in Mixer. Or change volume and pan individually

@goudse, expand Mixer. See: https://musescore.org/en/node/293714#comment-941470

Thanks Jojo it worked, but now my question is, how can I modify the channel setup?
Thanks again.

By hand-editing the mscx file inside the mscz ... nothing for the faint-at-heart.

Extract the mscx from the mscz (like 7Zip), open with any plain text editor of your choice (I use vim, Notpad++ should work too) and search for "Channel". See how it is done in the score I sent, do it the same for another.
Basically duplicate the (entire) Channel definition and give it a name. Once done move the mscx back into the mscz. Then add a staff text and via its properties assign voices to those channels, then in Mixer assign sounds to them.

Merci, yes this puzzles me quit a bit.
First difficulty, how to extract mdcx from mscz.
Second, do I have to install 7zip?
Third, I use a macbook Air and I could not vim or Notpad++
These are my first three questions, but if you think it will be too complicated, forget about it.
Thanks anyway.

Vim surely is available on Mac. And and zip/zip program should do.

Thanks for your time and efforts, but I think you're right, it looks quit complicated to me.
We found an easier way, install a second Tenor and then import one of the two voices to the second Tenor.
Thanks again, you're always a big help.

It's me again, I have advanced, I found mscx file. And I tried to install vim on my Macbook, this was not possible, I contacted apple for help but without success. There is a vim option program available on Appstore, is that the same?

You see me surprised that Apple, being a UNIX type OS, is lacking vim... but there maybe other editors (vim is not easy to use too) like nano maybe?

Hi Jojo, thanks for your reply, but nano wont work either. Thanks

Good morning Jojo, can I use Textedit for this modification, because this a basic program on my MacBook. If yes how do I make the required modification. I don't know where to begin, it's such a long list.
Thanks for your help.

see above. Chack the file I sent yout earlier (or rather attached here), compare what I did to the Channels
In reply to see above by Jojo-Schmitz
Sorry Jojo, I was away on holiday.
So I looked and compared, your modified and the original version, in order to make things easier, I only took the first 5 measures. And I succeeded, but it is a long and time consuming job, I had to make modifications in 4 or 5 different places. Honestly I don't think I could do it on my own.
It might be a good idea to make the job easier.
Thanks a lot and till we meet again.

Hi again Jojo, just another quick question, if I would like to do the same thing on the other voices, would it be exactly the same and use the same modifications as on the Tenor?
Thanks
goudse.

yes, except for the names of those channels

Surely macOS comes with some plain text editor - I think there might be one called just "Text Edit"? You shouldn't need to install anything.

I believe their version of nano is called pico.
But for a non-tech-it-person just using any graphical text editor is very much a better idea.

Thanks Marc, I found TextEdit and I opened mscx file in it. But now, what should I do ignorer to obtain two different instruments in the Tenor part?
Please advice me.
