Instrument - unpitched voice (spoken word)?
I need to write poetry with musical accompaniment, so I need a line to be for unpitched voice. Right now I'm just using piccolo snare drum (from unpitched percussion), but obviously it can't say that when the score is printed. So, I ned to be able to either change the name of the instrument I'm using or just add a new one. Is this possible? Thanks!

Changing instrument name is easy - just right click the name, bring up Staff Properties, and type whatever you like. for that matter, since the computer playback is presumably not very important, you could have just picked Voice in the first place rather than snare, but whatever.

I'm brand new and definitely somewhat technologically challenged. Didn't know about the right click. You're right, playback is not super important, but I needed it to be unpitched, so that's why I chose percussion. Thanks again!

BTW, another possibility for future reference: create the score using Voice as the instrument, but then change the playback sound in the Mixer window.
