Possible to compile a "hand book" of comonly used instruments?
Would it be possible to have a "hand book" built into the program that would show which instruments are commonly used?
For example, it could have Concert band, Jazz band, full Orchestra, etc... listing which instruments are most commonly found in them. Considering how many options are available for instrument choice (I think there's at least 5 differently pitched horns), it would be very helpful to have a guide to which ones to use easily available.

You may find the templates that Jsarag_oz_a has created helpful

As MuseScore matures and becomes more suitable for ensemble work some basic ensemble templates will probably be included by default.
I had found a website online that gives score order for band sheet music of the common band settings. It has helped me as a beginning composer. It is a pdf file so it is printer friendly.
