Save "Custom" Instrument Settings

• Oct 21, 2018 - 17:05

I'm using v2.1, and the thought just occurred to me that it might be helpful to save certain settings for instruments. For example, the bagpipe currently is set to transpose up a step with a range of F4 to G5, but I've read that its two sharps are "understood" and thus it would play at concert pitch--if the sharps are even necessary. The range I'm finding everywhere online is G4 to A5 as well, and it would be nice to save those settings so I don't need to change them every time I use one in a score.

I'd also prefer to have the closed SATB staves as separate instruments (i.e., a staff with soprano and alto and a staff with tenor and bass). It would be useful to have that option for orch/choir pieces where only two staves are needed for a four-part choir (as opposed to having all the choir parts on separate staves).
Right now it seems the only option is to adjust the usable pitch range for each staff; and, again, I wish I could save those settings.

Set up as needed, store in your templates folder and create new scores from those templates
Close score SATB templates already exist and have S/A and T/B as separate instruments
