Description
Your idea
Hello,
I have a request about improving the EXPLODE function.
In Sibelius you can choose both how many staves you want to distribute the notes across and exactly which staves / instruments they are sent to.
MuseScore doesn’t allow that yet.
I’ve attached some screenshots to support my request.
Thanks
Problem to be solved
Add the additional settings as Sibelius suggests

Research direction
Start by locating the EXPLODE function in the MuseScore codebase and review the attached screenshots alongside the existing behavior. Determine how the requested staff-count and explicit staff or instrument selection should work; done means EXPLODE provides those additional settings and distributes notes accordingly.
