Instrument Playback Previews

• May 14, 2025 - 19:27

There are a lot of instruments in MuseScore, and many composers are very particular about the playback sound in their scores. Unfortunately, the only way to hear an instrument's sound currently is to have it in your score, which can be a laborious task if you want to check several (possibly dozens) of sounds. It would be incredibly useful if, in the Instruments menu, each instrument had a button that would play a brief preview of the sound of that instrument, so composers would not have to go through the process of changing a part's assigned instrument many, many times. Below is a sketch of how I imagine such a feature would look.
