Another method of initiating a playback is with the spacebar:
1) spacebar click anywhere in a measure to play piece starting in that
measure; add shift and click on the staff of the instrument you want
to solo
2) spacebar click to left of music to play piece from start
3) while viewing a staff set, spacebar click on a staff to hear only
that staff set, or between staves to hear the entire score
4) hold spacebar, drag cursor over notes to hear them: backward,
forward, held, with shift key to solo
These are what I use - there might be more in the manual. For these the
playback window needs to be closed. Or, if after stopping a playback window
playback with the spacebar, keep holding the spacebar and follow the
spacebar playback steps. In lieu of a macro, a toggle-like effect between
window and spacebar playbacks can be achieved this way.
You also might want to check out the instrument list in the manual. Hope
this helps.
