MuseScore already has a regular gong. In the new score wizard see Unpitched Percussion > Tam-tam.

In french and maybe in other language tamtam also refer to any membrophon from Africa or south america.

Lasconic: May be we should rename it to Gong, or maybe add a separate entry for Gong?
Finale and Sibelius list both tamtam and gong.
In reply to Add gong or rename? by David Bolton
yea that's what i think musescore should do haha
In reply to Maybe you were thinking of by David Bolton
i probably was thanks
You know it sounds just like a chinese cymbal because musescore does not have a gong
I was hoping you could add C-melody Sax to your list of woodwinds. That would be great!

It's unlikely any soundfont would provide a separate sound for that instrument, so you can just use tenor sax and then change the name and transposition n staff properties. But sure, it would also be nice to have it added to the official instrument list.

Check http://musescore.org/en/node/17630 and esp. http://musescore.org/en/node/17630#comment-63772, about what's being talked about for 2.0 in regrds to instrumnent and MusicXML 3.0
I think it'd be pretty cool if they added in an ocarina. It's really an underrated instrument.

Who are they?
MuseScore is open source, and as such belongs to the whole user community.
Adding instruments is purely a matter of editing the Instruments.xml file to be found in the MuseScore program directory. The syntax of this file is not over-complicated, and there are enough of us around to give guidance on it should you need it.
So if you require more instruments adding to the list then why not have a go at doing it yourself?
Incidentaly there are 9 ocarinas in the instrument list :)
If you want to see them tick the "Show More" box on the "Create instrument" dialogue.

Yes, this would be lovely. With the 117 available woodwinds, and not being able click on my own baby is quite melancholic. The sound of the instrument is one octave lower than written, and I'm aware that playback is another story. But, would like to see my instrument in the drop down box.

So go ahead and edit Instruments.xml
Finding it is OS specific. but on Windows XP it is at C:\Program Files\MuseScore\Templates
You also may find this article in the How to section useful:

Once you have created your c-melody sax instrument definition I would like to have a copy for the new master Instruments list to be included in version 2.0, and which will be MusicXML 3.0 compatible.
Come back and ask if you need more guidance.

Which one?

See my reply below - I say exactly what to do.

This thread is describing a four-year-old version of MuseScore. I assume you are trying to see the less common instruments. To do so, use the drop down menu at the top - it defaults to Common instruments only. Or just type the name into the search box at the bottom.
