'Arco' text doesn't work directly

• Jan 20, 2019 - 08:10

Hi, gang!!!

I use MuseScore 3.0.1, portable version, into UbuntuStudio 18.04.1 LTS.

When I use "pizz" staff text symbol, the MuseScore synthesizer does the strings instrument change from normal to pizzicato, as I expect it sounds.

But... When I use "arco" staff text symbol... I have to right click into the staff text symbol and manually perform the instrument change.

Wasn't it expected this change was made automatically???

Maybe... Some code missing thing???

Blessings and Greetings from Chile!!!

So no issue after all?

This indeed only works with scores cretead in 3.0 from scratch, as only those have an 'arco' channel, 2.x ones have a 'normal' channel, but that had different meaning for e.g. classic Bass (normal meaning arco) and Jazz Bass (normal meaning pizzicato)
I believe that would be worth mentioning in the handbook
