# musescore-bodhran
An extra instrument file for adding the Bodhrán to Musescore, it needs to be added as an
instrument extension using the MuseScore menu. Below are the instructions for Mac and Linux:
MuseScore-2
1. copy file `musescore-2/instruments.xml` to `Documents/MuseScore2/Extensions/instruments.xml`
2. within Musescore menu navigate to: `MuseScore` then `Preferences...` then `Score` tab
3. in the Default Files panel, add the file to 'Instrument List 2' extension
4. browse to `Documents/MuseScore2/Extensions/instruments.xml` and apply to 'Instrument List 2'
MuseScore-3
1. copy file `musescore-3/instruments.xml` to `Documents/MuseScore3/Extensions/instruments.xml`
2. within Musescore menu navigate to: `MuseScore` then `Preferences...` then `Score` tab
3. in the Default Files panel, add the file to 'Instrument List 2' extension
4. browse to `Documents/MuseScore3/Extensions/instruments.xml` and apply to 'Instrument List 2'
You may now add a Bodhrán staff using menu item `Edit` then `Instruments...` where the Bodhrán is
listed under 'World Music' 'Percussion - Unpitched'.
In the examples directory there is an example score showing both Bodhrán and Tin Whistle staves.
Once a Bodhrán instrument staff is added to
the score then there is no need to keep this instrument file in the 'Instrument List 2' extension.
