How do I remove the left hand of the piano in MuseScore and Finale? I want to listen to the separate score parts.

I can only answer the MuseScore portion of the question:
- With your score open, go to
Edit -> Instruments
. - On the right-hand side of the pop-up window, select the staff that you want to remove. (In this case, it most likely says "Bass clef" under the "Piano" heading.
- Click
Remove
in the center column of this pop-up window. - Return to the score. The staff has been removed and thus will not be a part of your playback.

In Finale, each staff is given its own audio channel. From Studio View (View -> Studio View
) you have solo and mute buttons for each staff, and there's also a mixer window (Window -> Mixer
) that you can operate from any view.
