Special text "Solo" for the instrument in an orchestra #20837
Comments
I endorse your request for the option to "feature" a particular instrument and make it stand out. People instinctively rely on volume for that effect, so I endorse that as an affect, and it's something we can expect when MuseScore 4 adds automation. And while volume can help and instrument stand out, setting a negative delay (or "Prelay") of 6 to 40 milliseconds can be even more effective. When an instrument moves into that temporal position the secret is to keep other musicians from following. |
Agree that it would be helpful to attach a "solo" text instruction and hear a solo (as opp. sectional) sound play back. |
Also it is possible to add a "change instrument" mark, change it to read "solo" and then adjust its volume in the mixer. Would this achieve what you're looking for? |
If it's not a section instrument, then indeed, you won't get a new channel when changing to a solo instrument. But you will if you switch from violins (plural) to violin (singular). If you're really just thinking about putting "solo" on a part that was already a solo instrument, I am not sure I'd really expect it to get louder without also writing in a correspondingly louder dynamic, but a separate mixer channel to enable you to have independent control could be a good thing to give you the option of fiddling with the sound separately. In general, it's a great thing that the mixer no longer gets polluted with tons of extra channels when flipping back and forth between instruments. But, it would be useful to be able to force the new channel. |
Your idea
I suggest creating the solo text in the palette, which allows a particular instrument to sound louder than other instruments
I suggest the following notation options.
At the same time, feminine instruments (viola, trumpet, tuba, harp, celesta) should be marked as sola (singular) or sole (plural), and all others as solo (singular) or soli (plural).
I recommend implementing methods 1 and 2 in the form of the following line:
At the same time, the user should be able to change the style of this line in any of the three ways listed above.
Problem to be solved
There are times in the orchestra score when there is an inscription solo above a particular instrument. This means that the instrument should stand out from the rest in sound, that is, it should sound louder than the rest, and the rest should be modeled so as to sound quieter.
