Adjusting/Mixing Individual Instruments With Mixed Percussion

• Mar 18, 2025 - 01:45

Currently in musescore, you can adjust the volume/reverb of every instrument in a score with the mixer. With the new mixed percussion feature you can adjust the volume/reverb as a whole, but not for the individual instruments. This starts to pose some problems, for example, in a score I am making at forte and above levels with a snare/bass drum part all you hear is bass drum and the snare is super quiet. I would love to hear able to adjust the volume and reverb for each so I can make these adjustments. Thanks.

Put each instrument in different staves. Then you have access to separate dynamics and/or separate mixers for each. When they are all in a single staff (a "drum kit" instrument), then there is only one set of dynamics and one mixer for that staff.

You asked a question about playback. Playback and display/print are often at odds. This is simply an issue where they are fighting with one another.

Get the piece to as "finished" as possible and then create a second score file for playback. Or create that second score for display/print.

Another possibility to consider is to determine which instruments have dynamic changes together. Those instruments can stay on a single staff.
