You need to define expressions to do this. They can be the same expression which you use to indicate instrument change, or they can be non-printing ones.
You need to define playback options for whichever type of expression you want to create. When you click on the Playback Options button the expression creation panel is expanded. In the new lower portion, under the Playback Options heading, in the Type panel, hit the down triangle and scroll down to select Patch. The lower part changes to show boxes where you can select the sound you want. After selecting the instrument you want, click the OK button, the click the SELECT button. Assign it as a Note Expression and you are all set. If you don't want it to print, place your text in angle-brackets like this: <trumpet> and be sure the Don't Print Text In Angle Brackets box is checked.
