Instrument change - Test version....
I want know if In the "Instrument Change" will be possible alter the number of midi instrument....
Don't exist a intrument "Distortion Guitar" or "Overdrive Guitar",
And it is not possible change through "Staff Text" and "Staff text properties" in musescore 1.0 too...
When I write to eletric Guitar, it's common alternate between clean and distortion, for exemple,
If only it will possible change staff, it will be still impossible...
Do It'll be possible?
It will be interesting, if musescore will get change (automations) Pan (stereo) and Volume, reverb, chorus in middle of track or staff too...

Mid-score change of instrument for a part will be possible in the next major version.
New instruments can can be added even right now (albeit with a rather convoluted process, involving hand-editing of an XML configuration file); the next version may add a more convenient way.
Instruments are however only labels with some engraving data (default clef, long and short name, ...) and only a few 'musical' data, like range and MIDI program. Also, they can only go as far as the sound font you use with your scores goes: if the sound font does not contain suitable samples coded in a General MIDI program, you cannot expect MuseScore to add them.
Generally speaking, please keep in mind that MuseScore is a music notation programme, not a sequencer; it has some sequencing features mainly to support checking and testing of entered scores.
I think that adding a good deal of these kind of features would make MuseScore larger, more complex (and slow) to develop, to debug and to test, and could loose the focus on its 'core business' which is music engraving.
Possibly, if you need advanced sequencing features, you may want to add some other more specific programme(s) to your 'tool case'.
Thanks,

Ok...
Actually the program don't possibility it...
the sounds that I Speak, the GM Midi own it....
The notation to eletroacustics intruments is weak....
The test version is better...
The changes in pan, volume, etc..... i'ts adicional.... I know that it don't is necessary to write scores....
The edicttion of scores of musescore is the more complet and easy to use...
Thank You, man....
