Making Only The Filtered Instrument Playback

Hey guys,

Does anyone know of a setting that can make the filtered Instruments (The instruments selected to be shown only) in the Galley View to play alone on playback as a posed to having to select more than one note from them all and press P?

In other words, is there a way to play only what’s shown in the Galley View?

Thanks, Nicolas.

Sorry I don’t know, but I like the idea.

This has been requested before, and is something we are thinking about for future versions.

What happens if you select a note in the flow, press ctrl-A, and then P? Does that select only the filtered instruments?

In my experience, selecting two or more notes/rests in (a) part(s) solos it/them, but not just one note.

Yes, but Ctrl-A selects everything in the current flow, so I thought that might provide a short-cut.

Yes, if you’ve already filtered the instruments, selecting some or all of what’s shown onscreen will play back.

Another nice shortcut I like is shift-selecting (shift-down arrow, at least in Mac OS) the first note of parts I want to isolate. Bonus: however you’ve isolated part(s), playback scrubbing also plays only that/those part(s)!

Hi all. I also would like an option to make only the filtered instruments play. Unfortunately, Ctrl-A selects all the instruments in the score, not just the filtered ones. An option to decide if Ctrl-A should behave this way or select just the filtered instruments could be useful.

This seems to work

  1. Filter the instruments
  2. Select the highest note in the first stave from where you want playback to start
  3. Shift-Cmd-down arrow
  4. Play

On a Mac and similar to Judd’s solution above.
