Piccolo in Db does not appear in instrument list
Trying to find the Piccolo in Db. I just see Piccolo, which is in C. Anyone have any ideas (without me having to transpose)?

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing it. I've attached a screen shot of what I'm seeing.

You need version 2.1 for the Db piccolo.

Sorry, I looked at the wrong version. The change is going to be available in the next release, which is currently being called 2.2. You can download a version 2.2 Nightly (don't download a Master Nightly, it very unstable and crashes a lot). The link to the nightlies for Mac is http://prereleases.musescore.org/macosx/nightly/
The 2.2 nightlies are very stable. I use it all the time for everything except looking at 2.1 issues. The two versions will by default coexist. You can actually open your 2.1 score in 2.2, add the Db Piccolo, save it and continue working on it in 2.1 if you prefer.

My bad, I forgot I already have the 2.2 instruments file in my 2.1 installation…
Alternatively, add a regular Piccolo to your score, the right-click an empty measure in that staff and open up the Staff Properties. Then adjust them to look as follows:
