Can I set up a selected-staves view? [SOLVED]

• Nov 13, 2022 - 16:43

(MS3) I've scanned the Handbook and can't find how the following might be done. I often work in larger scores (> 5-7 staves). In the Mixer, I can Solo particular instruments, say, Flute-Oboe-Clarinet-Viola-Cello.
When doing playback, only those 5 instruments are heard.

What would be great, is a way to select only F-O-C-V-VC staves to be visible. For as long as I need. As I write this, the idea of Edit->Instruments, then Visible (on/off) comes to me. Is that the only way to do what I'm looking for? Thanks.

If it's a grouping you use often, the simplest solution is to just generate a part for that group,ing, then you can switch to it in a single click whenever you want.

Otherwise, for MuseScore 3, Edit / Instruments is indeed the way. In MuseScore 4, the visibility checkboxes are easier to access, on the instruments panel in the left sidebar. Also, it will allow you to control visibility of the whole instrument (as in MU3) or individual staves within the instrument.
