Instrument selections (could there me more for the next musescore)
When I looked under all instruments, under the strings, I saw options like "violins" "violas", etc. However, when I looked under woodwinds and brass, I couldn't find "trumpets" or "flutes", etc. just individual instruments. Could you all maybe include instrument "sections" in the next version?

Just take trumpet and modify the instrument name.
for violins, violas etc this had been done differently as there is a matching sound for them, different from the single instrument, in the GM SoundFonts, but I don't think there is for brass
There are typically 2-5 trumpets and 2-4 flutes +/- piccolo in an orchestra but I've seen 32 violins at a recent performance. The violins are generally spilt into 1st and 2nd but that's still a large number per group. The trumpets and flutes less often play in unison. So I think just changing the name (if you need it) makes sense rather than having a different instrument for trumpets and flutes.
