Musescore - how to add general MIDI sound?

Question

How do I add a general MIDI instrument, like bird tweet or guitar fret, to a Musecore score?

They aren't available in the instruments dialog, although all soundfonts support them.

Answer 1

• Add any instrument, e.g. piano
• Right click the staff and change the instrument name to Seashore (optional, this is just for easy reading later)
• View - Mixer (or F10) - change the sound dropdown to Seashore
