Inserting Instrument Changes
Last updated: 07/30/2024
To change the instrument sound of any part (or voice within a part), select the "Instrument Change" button from the Playback toolbar and insert the symbol anywhere in any staff. The new instrument will sound until a new change-of-instrument is inserted.
