Synthesizer instrument not updated after staff properties change in beta2
When changing instruments in staff properties, the synthesizer does not update unless the score is saved and reloaded. This was not a problem in beta1. The problem is evident in beta2 as well as the 12-28 nightly build.
The problem is consistent in Windows 7 and Windows 8. Haven't had the opportunity to test it on Ubuntu 14.04 as of yet, but the problem is not evident in beta1 on Ubuntu.

Hmm, I can confirm, unfortunately. Basically, change instrument affects staff name, transposition, playable range, and even the *display* of the sound in the Mixer, but not what you actually hear.
I've filed an officiasl bug report in the issue tracker as #42741: Change Instrument does not affect playback sound until save/reload
