By default, each sta represents a dierent instrument in an ensemble. The previous procedure details
how to switch a sta to a dierent instrument in the ow of a score. But there is yet another option
available: you can write two voices on a sta (multi-voice entry) or up to four voices on a sta (short
score sta) and, using the steps below, assign a dierent instrument to dierent parts.
With these steps you can assign up to two instruments on a standard notation
sta and up to four dierent instruments on a grand sta.
1. Ensure you are in Edit mode.
NOTE: You do not have to identify where in the score you want the instrument change until Phase 2: Place
New Instrument on Sta.
2. Press Shift + I.
» The Instrument Change window opens. Select the Show All Instruments checkbox to view all the instruments that
are currently used in the score.
3. Select one of the following in the left drop-down list:
> All voices: this default setting places the same instrument on all voices in the sta, including both sta segments
of a grand sta. This is the setting used in the previous topic.
> Single sta: this setting has the same eect as the previous above on a standard (single) sta. Where this option
comes into play is with a grand sta. Using Single sta places an instrument on only one of the staves of the
grand sta. You are free to use a dierent instrument (or two!) on the other sta.
> Sta voice 1: with two voices this setting places a particular instrument on the upper voice. On a grand sta this
aects one sta only.
> Sta voice 2: with two voices this setting places a particular instrument on the lower voice. On a grand sta this
aects one sta only.
> Sta voice 3: use this to assign or change an instrument to Voice 3 on a short score sta.
> Sta voice 4: use this to assign or change an instrument to Voice 4 on a short score sta.
4. Complete one of the following three options:
> If you are using MIDI out (to a VSTi that supports multiple MIDI channels or to another channel on a MIDI device
already assigned to this sta) and you know which channel you want to switch to, use the pull-down menu in the
middle to select a dierent channel, based on the options at the external MIDI device. Then click OK and skip to
Phase 2: Place New Instrument on Sta on the next page.
> If the instrument you need is on the list here on the Instrument Change dialog box, highlight its name and click
OK. Then proceed to Phase 2: Place New Instrument on Sta.
