Instrument Name Economy on Staves

• Jun 24, 2018 - 13:33

Is it possible in MuseScore to be more economical with instrument names, where a name has to be repeated?

At present, my score is looking like this:

When I want it to look like this (much more elegant):

It is possible. You can play around with, in this case, the short instrument name of Trumpet 2. Make 1, 3 and 4 simply 1, 3, & 4. In 2 you can make it

 2

Trpts

You can put spaces and press Enter in the name of an instrument. The name is centered on the staff, so you will need to start with some Enters, enter 2, then some more Enters, play around with this until it lines up right.

Edit: the line with the 2 on it should just be some spaces before the 2, the web page changed it on me.
