How can I edit the VSM repertoire with it?
Look for the "Open in Playground" (or just "Playground") blue button to open enabled titles into the Playground. Try with the first collection of our basic Christmas Carols to see how it works (if you are not a Member, you may have limited access to that title).
Request to enable new titles by clicking on the "Request Playground" (or just "Playground") button on any VSM item's page.
Search for "VSM Playground" on the site to find titles already enabled.

Re your string trio arrangement of For Unto Us a Child is Born, re the violin part (2nd), do you have a suggested adaptation of that part that would be more suitable for flute?
Fabrizio Ferrari- moderator, on December 4, 2025 @9:20 am PST
Hi Diana. As I asked you in my previous reply below, if you are asking about the version for flute, violin, and cello, I can enable its editing inside the Playground so you can change the violin part into flute. Is that the one? Please let me know, and I'll proceed.
Diana Irving* VSM MEMBER *on December 4, 2025 @8:51 am PST
Could you please transpose the cello part (3rd part) into treble clef to be playable by flute?This is in regard to the three part string trio for "For Unto Us a Child is Born" Thanks

I transposed a piece for alto sax to Bb clarinet so I clicked on “alto sax” to edit the instrumentation to “Bb clarinet” but upon exporting it still said “alto sax”. How can I do that?

All the best,

Are you talking about the version for flute, violin, and cello:

Please let me know. If so, I'll enable that title to be edited inside the Playground.
I look forward to hearing from you.
That's actually strange. How did you export your music? As a PDF file or MusicXML? Please let me know.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Was the source file an imported file or one of our editions? Please let me know.
If you could also tell me exactly the steps you have taken, that'd help to figure out what happened.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you again!
No inconvenience at all, you are always very welcome. And thank you again for reaching out!
All the best,
