Is it possible to compose a piece in Musescore under the same title that has multiple sections each comprised of different instrument groupings?

• May 16, 2024 - 08:43

Hypothetical example: I want to compose a piece that is 150 measures long and has 6 different sections (each 25 measures) comprised of unique instrument groupings.

1st section: Piano and Flute (25 measures)
2nd section: String quartet (25 measures)
3rd section: Big Band (25 measures)
4th section: English Horn, Bassoon and Triangle ; ) (25 measures)
5th section: Full Orchestra (25 measures)
6th section: Brass ensemble (25 measures)

Is it possible to create a piece like this all under the same title? Does a 'section divide' exist in Musescore with
an option to change instrument groupings?

Thanks for your help.

No, but you can hide empty staves where you don't want to see instruments. However, all instruments must be present (but not necessarily visible) throughout the score. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/showing-staves-only-where-needed

And you can separate sections with a section break. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/using-sections-multiple-movements-o…
