Staff Text Properties muted

• Jul 18, 2012 - 02:18

Ok, I have 3 trumpet parts and 3 trombone parts all marked with "W/St. Mutes".

When I go to the Staff text properties for the 3 trumpet parts, they all have a choice of normal or mute, and of course I have chosen mute.

But the same Staff Text Properties for the 3 trombone parts only give me the choice of normal.

I tried deleting them, saving the file, then opening the file and re-entering the "W/St. Mutes", but still have the same results.

BTW, when I get to the "open trumpet parts, they all give me the option of choosing normal.

Thanks,

General MIDI does not define a muted trombone sound, so the default soundfont and the defualt instruments.xml provided with MuseScore don't provide that option. If you have a soundfont that does provide a muted trombone, you can load it instead of the default (see Soundfont in the Handbook), and then edit instruments.xml (see Edit->Preferences).
