I have a piano score in which I'd like to add the trumpet part for only 15 bars, and they are not located at the beginning, but in the middle of the song. Is it possible to do? How? Thanks in advance?

Add the instrument in the usual way, populate it with notes, then, from the Staff tool, select the entire staff, beginning to end, and pick Hide Empty Staves.

Create all the staves you need right from the start. Then in the Staff menu (Staff tool), in Page view, hide the trumpet in selected systems with the "Hide Empty Staves" command.
