Hi all, sorry if this has been asked before!

Sibelius Ultimate / Win 10

I'm wondering if there's a good way to have instrument changes shown on a single staff AND have playback sample the new instrument during that section.

Example: I have a marimba staff where I need that same percussionist to switch to chimes for a small section and then go back to marimba afterwards.

I know I can just use text to label that the part should be played on chimes, but I want to make sure I also hear the chime's color through playback. Is this feasible? I can always write on separate staves as needed, but I was hoping to make it easier on the students bouncing between multiple instruments.

Should work as long as you are setting up the change properly. Double check in the manual.
