In SW 2012, is there a way to take an existing piece of music and have SW replace the instruments with an ensemble such as woodwind trio, brass quintet, etc? For example, I have a couple .mus files that I'd like to test with different instrument combinations, but the only way I can do it now is line by line through Score Manager.

Thanks,
Larry

Larry,
I don't think so. How would the program know which instruments to apply to which lines?

Your other option would be to set up a blank document with the ensemble you wanted, and drag the staves over.
