[SOLVED] (MuseScore 3) Cannot change the MIDI voice of an instrument in the Mixer if said instrument is the product of an Instrument Change
I want to have a pitched percussion part that changes between Vibraphone and bowed Crotales (synthesized using a custom instrument), but the changed instrument does not show up in the Mixer for me to change the MIDI voice. Am I simply overlooking something? Thanks.
Edit: Solved! Apparently there is a dropdown on top of the instrument that displays all of the instrument changes on a particular part.

If you have Bowed Croatales defined as an instrument in instruments.xml the instrument will be in the mixer if you do a proper instrument change, using the Instrument text (from the text palette. If you modify an existing instrument, then the name in the Instrument field will be listed, but you can still set a sound to it. Crotales is in the list of instruments if you don't know. Use the search box at the bottom left of the instruments list if you can't find it.

My plan was just to change it to Crotales, then edit the MIDI voice accordingly. I don't feel like adding in Bowed Crotales as a whole new instrument, as I don't use it often enough.

So Crotales should appear in the mixer if you properly used the Instruments text.

I ended up solving it myself. My issue was that Crotales wasn't showing up in the mixer after changing the instrument. Apparently, all of the instrument changes are stored in a dropdown on top of the part's MIDI information. Sorry.

I forgot about the arrow in version 3 that's necessary to see the other instruments on the staff of the original instrument.
