In addition to these improvements, we've made it easier to control the display of instrument names, with double-click automatically opening the Staff/Part Properties dialog, and provide better control over the display of instrument names and brackets when hiding empty staves. MuseScore will also add a clef and key signature change if appropriate these will be deleted automatically if you remove the instrument change.

Upon adding an instrument change text from the palette, MuseScore will automatically display the dialog to allow you to select the new instrument, and it will automatically update the instrument name accordingly. Much of this work was originally done by Josh Wood and was then adapted by the in-house MuseScore team.

To hear playback of chord symbols, go to Edit > Preferences > Note Input and enable the Play Chord Symbols option. Peter Hieu Vu implemented this as part of the Google Summer of Code last year and this facility is now available in MuseScore 3.5. One of the most requested features for many years has been playback of chord symbols. Which is available here Chord Symbol Playback We're glad to announce a new portable version for Windows.

Today we are glad to announce a MuseScore 3.5.
