Let's say I've written a piece for several instruments. Now I want to go in and change the clarinet line to a violin line, so that it's labelled violin and when I play it back it sounds like a violin. Can anyone tell me the steps for doing this? Thanks very much!

You can do that at least two ways.
1. look in the manual for how to change instruments using the mixer. It's easy but takes a long time to explain. Listen to the piece and see if you like it. If you do, you'll need to change the name of the clarinet line to violin.
2. Add a violin line to your score. Copy and paste the clarinet music into it. Delete the clarinet line if you like the violin line better.
