The Instrument Set Window

The Instrument Set window can be opened with:

Double-click on the Instrument Set Box

Menu Layout > Instrument Sets…

Key command Open Instrument Set Window

If you have opened the Instrument Set window while the default “ALL INSTS.” set was
displayed, a warning indicates that the “ALL INSTS.” Instrument Set cannot be edited. In
the Instrument Set window, select New > New Complete Set. This will create an
Instrument Set that contains all track instruments currently used in the Arrange
window. Although this results in the same display as “ALL INSTS.”, you can edit this
Instrument Set (you cannot define instrument names or change the order of
instruments; and the bar lines are always connected throughout the whole score, in the
“ALL INSTS.” Set). You will see columns with the following parameters (from left to
right) in the window:

Instrument

This column is used to determine which (track) instruments are included in the
Instrument Set, and their vertical order of appearance in the score. As in the Score Style
window, there is a narrow column to the left that allows you to set an insert mark (>)
with a mouse click, or make multiple selection marks by dragging the mouse vertically.
These selection marks denote selected instrument entries. The usual cut/copy/paste
commands (Edit menu or key commands) allow you to; move entries to reorder them,
delete, or copy them into other Instrument Sets. If pasted, they will be placed at the
insert mark position, which must be set beforehand.

A double-click below the instrument list results in a new instrument entry at the
bottom. If you want to add an instrument to the middle of the list, set the insert mark
accordingly, and select New > Add Instrument Entry.

Click-hold on the name of this new entry (Instrument column). A pull-down menu,
containing all available track instruments, will appear, allowing your selection.
