instrumentations
Musical scoring methods
Instrumentations is the plural of instrumentation, which has two main senses.
In music, instrumentation is the arrangement of a composition for particular instruments—how a piece is scored for orchestra, band, or ensemble: The instrumentations of his later symphonies grew more complex.
In technical fields, instrumentation refers to measuring devices or control systems collectively: The lab upgraded its instrumentations for more precise readings.
