CHOIR: How to easily get rid of that awful choir sound and replace it with an instrument
I loath the choir noises, for I cannot even put the word sound to name it, for it is not a sound - its a mechanic horror.
I'm sticking to Musescore 3 just because it is easier to use, especially for changing from choir noise (ug) to another instrument.
And unfortunately, the graphic design is harsh and unwelcoming.
I could get used to that however, as previously stipulated, the choir noise is appalling and is extremely difficult, indeed, almost impossible to change.

In mixer you can assign different sounds.
In synthesizer you could load a better Soundfont
Other than that: the sound of voice ohhs is indeed horrible, but choir ahhs isn't that bad IMHO, from MuseScore General (default) or MuseScore General HQ (extension) sound font that is.

Thank you for your response.
All I actually wish to do is change the choir noise to that of the grand piano. The result is far more precise.
Apart rom that I really enjoy using MuseScore.

Quite often flutes, violons, cellos and bassons are used for this
Piano often is not suitable, due to its attack and decay

I use flute for higher voices, oboe for lower
I agree wholeheartedly: the choir sounds are disgusting!
Another possibility would be to right-click on a measure (not on a specific note or rest, but on blank space within the measure) and click Staff/Part properties... from the context menu. Then, under Part properties, click to Change instrument. If you want, you can then change the Long instrument name and Short instrument name back to "Soprano", "Tenor" or whatever. This will change the sound that MusesScore generates but still display and print with the "voice" listed as the instrument.
Personally, I usually use oboe, harmonica, and trombone for Soprano, Alto, and Tenor. I have not yet found good choices when I have to use fourth and fifth voice parts. I usually use baritone sax for the Baritone voice, and bassoon for the Bass voice, but I don't actually like these choices. :-(
