The issue

The current implementation of the Instrument to Sound mapping in the Mixer Panel (F10) allows one to skip through a list of sound names using the keyboard. When one or more additional soundfonts are installed, some sound names are identical, or similar enough to cause confusion to the user and the sound selection process becomes tedious.

The feature request

Add the ability to auto filter the list of sounds in the Mixer Panel. The sounds map the sounds from the installed soundfont to the MuseScore instrument.

This will work very similar to the search in MuseScore Instruments panel ( Edit > Instruments...). For example if you type "flu"it will narrow the list of All Instruments to

  • Flute
  • Treble Flute
  • Soprano Flute .. etc

Related Change Request

The ability to pre-select the sound from a specific (additional and installed) soundfont. This seems to be requested before.

Cheers,
