add an instrument in MS 4.4

• May 19, 2025 - 00:10

Okay, another one -- can anyone inform me on how to add/delete an instrument in an already existing score from any menu? I've been looking all around in the menus and can't find anything. I know that pressing 'i' will open the add instruments window to add one, but there is nothing in any of the menus that I can find that lets me do that. I had to do some online research here to learn that.

Rather frustrating if you ask me.

OK.
Hit "I" to open the add instruments dialogue.
Make sure "choose Instruments" is underlined in blue top center of the window.
On the left, "Woodwinds" is highlighted and woodwind instruments are listed in the center.
Double flick "Flute".
Flute gets added to the list of instruments in your score.
To remove an instrument....
Select the instrument from the list on the right.
Select the "trash can" above the list.
Close the window when you are done.

The former Instruments panel is now titled Layout. So View / Layout, or simply click the Layout tab at the upper left corner.

Sadly, documentation is out of date because the developers closed editing on it last fall "for a few weeks" while they moved the handbook to a different format and server. And they haven't re-opened it. :-(
