When creating a new score, and adding players/instruments/ensembles, is there a way to create a custom “ensemble”?
For example, I teach high school band, I’m creating warmup sheets for my jazz band. The instrumentation won’t change any time soon. Alongside the existing built-in ensembles, can I create “my jazz band” with the specific instrumentation that I have, and save it for the next time I need to make a new sheet?
At the moment I believe the only way to do this is to create the ensemble the way you want it, then save it as a blank document. Every time you want to use it, open up the document, “SAVE AS” with a new name, then edit it.
I believe it was mentioned that this is planned for the future, so that you will be to be able to create your own templates, but not sure when it will be implemented. I believe if you search for templates, you might have better luck, and might find the thread where Daniel said that.

And now the capability is in. I can for example create a woodwind quartet in setup mode by clicking “add ensemble”, “build”, and then typing in
“flute, s. sax, cl, bsn”
I can save this as “woodwind quartet”.
But
- it gives me clarinet in Bb and I want clarinet in C
- I want to customize the bassoon name so that it says “Bsn (sim)”
I can of course customize later, and this is still helpful as is, but is there any way to save my customizations into my default woodwind quartet?
I built a quartet with C Clarinet, then saved it as a Project Template. Then I can create a new project from that template and it lands appropriately.
EDIT: Oops — I missed your soprano sax and used oboe.
