Change instrument for certain range of bars
I notice that this feature is not working as in Sibelius for example, here it seems to transpose the entire part although I just wanted the Flugelhorn to be changed to C-trumpet for a certain number of measures until it's Flugelhorn again, any input? I "added text-change instrument" and it changed key (the file is imported as an xml-file and made in Sibelius) THe score in C here so the C-trumpet should show the samec as the other instriuments....am I doing something wrong when adding text-change instrument, or is it a bug?

Instrument change texts should do this

Since it was imported as an XML with those instrument changes I think that’s where the problem is

It doesn't seem to work correctly if you have an instrument change and save/open it as XML.
I have created a sample file (mscz, MuS 3.7) and exported it as an xml file. Both are attached.
When opening the xml, the section with the C trumpet is wrong; this section is still transposed like the Bb trumpet. However, the key and the visual position on the staves are correct but the pitches are wrong.
It has nothing to do with Sibelius ...

Yes that s what I mean, it was exported as an xml file and musescore 4 handle that incorrectly I don’t blame Sibelius :)

MuS 4 handle it correctly? (I don't use it, nor Sibelius). What is your question then - I don't understand ...
At least MuS 3 handles it incorrectly.

Mus 4 doesn't handle it correctly either, sorry. My question is how to solve the problem with "change instruments" in my Mus 4 file after importing the file as an xml file.

Ok. No idea why I read " musescore 4 handle that correctly" :-).

Oh, I see, you originally wrote:

Proven by the mail notification! LOL!

FWIW I created a flugelhorn score in Sibelius. Part way through I created an instrument change to C trumpet for three measures, The result was the change was labeled to C trumpet, the three measures were labeled C trumpet. And the automatic return to Flugelhorn, labeled also. I exported as xml. I opened it in MU4 Labels and key changes were correct.
But, create the same score in MU4 and the C trumpet change just says trumpet. And you have to add another instrument change when you want to go back.
