Change instruments in the same part

For woodwind doubling or percussion parts, it would be great to be able to change instruments in the same staff both for sounds and transpositions.

Great idea! Yes, this is something we want to add in the future!

Wow! If this is technically possible, it would be a wonderful feature. I have guys in my band playing three different wind instruments (in different tuning) in some arrangements. I now have to print out, cut and glue note lines together. Hard work and it looks funny.

It would even be OK if I could write the different instrument as separate parts and combine them when printed out.

I completely agree! Woodwind doubling is so necessary, it would be nice to be able to switch instruments (and their respective audio for playback) mid-score. In addition, percussionists often play multiple instruments - some rhythmic and some harmonic - in the same song. Being able to switch instruments within the same line would be helpful for so many of my songs!

Absolutely agree with this. If we could get this feature sooner rather than later it would be tremendously helpful!

I'm interested in this, too. Big band and theatrical music requires a lot of doubling.

I agree. This would be great for when you would want to change keys for an instrument like from Bb clarinet to A clarinet in the middle of a piece and not have to deal with the mess of two different staffs and having to hide one when it changes.
