I can't find the marimba anywhere on MuseScore

• Mar 7, 2025 - 19:08

i can not find the marimba anywhere. I have composed on the marimba before and it just disappeared. i have searched for it at the orchestral instruments, at the classroom instruments, everywhere. i found only the xylobalafon wich sounds really close to it but I know really well i saw the marimba a couple of days ago. i don't know if it's a bug or you just errased it. Well it is probably a bug or something like that. Thank you!

New score / Choose instruments / Common / Percussion - Pitched. "Marimba (grand staff)" and "Marimba (single staff)" are both listed. Alternatively, from an existing score, Instruments / Add / Common / Common / Percussion - Pitched.

It's not a bug and no one erased it. If you don't see it where I've just described it, try Help / Revert to factory settings.

There is a Search box which yields "marimba":

But you need English as the chosen language in Edit > Preferences.

This is Romana language:
