[Menvi-discuss] Adding of multiple voices in musescore

[Marc Sabatella]

Normally in print music, each instrument reads from its own staff.
However, in large ensembles like orchestras, it is common to place the
first and second flutes on a single staff using multiple voices, same for
oboe, clarinet, etc.  Is that what you mean?  To switch between voices, use
Ctrl+Alt plus the number of the voice.

For more information on using MuseScore, please be sure to read the online
Handbook (accessed via the Help menu) - it is quite thorough.  Also see my
online course at https://masteringmusescore.com for much more in-depth
training.
