Instructions, with images

Step 0: set up the score

Here is a new score, created with a thou staff. The instrument (by default) is piano. The upper notes are Vox i; the lower notes are Voice 2.

Step 1: Open up the "Staff/Parts Properties" dialog box

At the kickoff of the score, correct click in a blank expanse of the staff whose voices yous'd like to change instruments.

Stride 2: Change the instrument for the (entire) staff.

1. In the "Part Properties" department of the "Staff/Function Properties" dialog box, click on the "Alter Musical instrument..." push button.

2. Select a new instrument.

The instrument selected must be ane with multiple channels assigned to information technology. This instance uses Violin, which has three channels — enough for the two voices to exist reassigned.

3. Click "OK" on both dialog boxes.

Pace 3: Set Voice ane and Voice 2 to different channels

1. Click on (i.eastward., select) the first notation of Vox ane.
2. Add a Staff Text past clicking on the Text menu in the Master Palette and clicking "Staff Text".

3. With the "Staff Text" selected, click on "Staff Text > Properties" in the Chemical element Inspector.

4. On the "Modify Channel" tab of the "Staff Text Properties" dialog box, ready each voice to a different channel.

In this case, only Vocalism one and Vocalism two demand to be set. In the image below, Voice 1 has already been ready (to the "Arco" channel), and Vocalization ii is about to be fix (to the "Pizzicato" aqueduct).

Step 4: Use the Mixer to prepare each channel to a different audio

1. In the mixer, discover the slider for the instrument to be reset (Violin in this example), and click the right-pointing pointer at the top of the command.

2. Select a aqueduct by clicking on its slider, and use the Mixer's "Audio" dropdown list to change the audio used when that channel (i.e., its associated Vocalism) is played.

Step 5: Repeat the previous step for each channel that has been assigned to a Voice in the score.

Pace 6: Play the score

Each voice volition now sound as a separate instrument.
