You can create new instruments whenever you like - you don’t need to decide on them all at the start, but you should pick at least one instrument initially, otherwise you’ll have nothing to write music for. When you select a manuscript paper, you’ll be presented with Setup options for customizing it. To start a string quartet score (which is what we want), it’s quickest to use the String quartet manuscript paper in the Chamber Groups category, but for the moment let’s choose Blank (which, as the name suggests, is completely blank manuscript paper) in No category, so that we can look at how to create instruments. You can always learn how to create your own manuscript papers later. If you’re writing for a standard ensemble, it’s a good idea to use one of Sibelius’s built-in manuscript papers rather than defining your own, because the supplied ones have numerous helpful defaults (such as special instrument name formats, suitable staff sizes and so on), already set up for you. The New Score tab of the Quick Start dialog lists many types of instrumentation, organized into categories: Band, Chamber Groups, Choral and Song, and so on. You don’t have to make all these decisions at the very beginning as you can always edit the Setup options later. Give your score a Title, enter the Composer’s Name, and so on.
