Just combine set instrument to block and play note block, trust me its a good idea when making music with note blocks. Saves tons of time

But you can just do the "set instrument" and then "play note".
If you wanna set up a song with it, I suggest making 3 lists, one called "Instr" one called "Beats" one called "Notes", then you can have this script:

when gf clicked
set [i v] to [1]
wait until <your ready>
if <not<<<<<length of [Notes v]>+<length of [Instr v]>>+<length of [Beats v]>>/(3)>=<length of [Notes v]>>>
say [Look at your lists again, they're not equal.] //this is just for when you're editing the
end 
repeat <length of [Notes v]> //notes, to make sure all the lengths of your lists are the same
set instrument to <item (i) of [Instr v]>
play note <item (i) of [Notes v]> for <item (i) of [Beats v]> beats
change [i v] by (1)
end

You would have to put in each note you want into the list (in sequence, where the first item would be the first note to be played, second the second, etc...), and put in the corresponding instrument and beats into their respective lists. I'd say it's much easier, and so you wouldn't need this, as it's just a waste of the Scratch team's time when there's more than one way to fix it.

No.

What if you needed multiple scripts playing different intruments?

not the best technique, but you can use different sprites
