Description
Your idea
Please add electric violin, viola and cello to the list of instruments in the score wizard. They are separate instruments with timbres different from their acoustic forms.
Problem to be solved
They do not currently exist in the list.
Prior art
Musescore already has electric guitar and electric bass.
Additional context
To the best of my knowledge there is no electric contrabass.
