Playback each voice separately
Is it possible to listen to each voice being played back? I have a piece of music that is written for two voices, tenor and bass and I would like to play the music and hear only the tenor part or only the bass part. Is that possible? I have looked but I can find anything.

If they are on separate staves, then View / Mixer allows you to solo & mute tracks. If on the same staff, then Ctrl+A to select all, use View / Selection Filter to exclude one voice from the selection, then use the Inspector (View / Inspector if it isn't already open) to disable the "Play" property from the remaining voice, thus muting it.

The voices are on the same staff so I did Ctrl+A and then in the Selection Filter I unchecked everything but Voice 2 and I opened the Inspector but I don't see a Play option. The only things that appear in the Inspector are Set Color, Set Visible, and Set Invisible buttons under the Element Group.

at the bottom of the inspector window is a "Notes" button. Click this and then all of the note options including "Play" will show up.

I know this is an old topic. I have a score with 2 voices (1 & 2).
I selected voice 1, deselected voices 2,3,4
After opening the inspector window, I clicked the "Notes" button and tried many options, none of the options will play just voice 2 (it plays both voices). What did I do wrong? What do I need to click.

Inspector hasn't got much to do with this, use the Mixer

And if you're working the inspector way, then the solution is to not play the other voices. The inspector can only change properties on what's selected.
So indeed, selecting voice 1 will not allow you to silence voice 2. Selecting voice 2 and unchecking play for it, will.
But as mentioned, if you're on MuseScore 3, just use the Mixer instead: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/mixer#mute-voice
Thank you all for the help. I've got it working.
It is using the attached template and staff text for the channel switch
