Hi guys,

Which is the easiest way to add an instrument in the middle of a composition ? Or to modify an instrument ?

Many thanks and wish you all an excellent weekend !

If the instrument is added mid score, add it to the file (which adds it throughout), then hide it up to the point it appears. To change a staff to another instrument, use the Change Instrument tool at the point where the instrument needs to change.
