In Mus2, it is possible to create multiple staves for a piece and to select a separate instrument for each stave. For example, a file with two staves can be created, one for the melody and one for the rhythm.

In this piece, we selected qanun for the melody and bendir for the rhythm staves. In a training session, you may want to turn the sound off for one of these staves. With this new version, it is possible to play only the melody or only the rhythm.

“Quiet” checkbox is added to the Staff screen. After selecting a stave and clicking the checkbox, this instrument will no longer be played. In this example, bendir is muted. Thus, it will be possible to work by muting the instrument in one or many staves.
