Try this as a workaround. I've submitted this as a feature request as well. Would it be helpful if the Change Instrument brought up a list of the sounds available instead, like in the ScoreManager?
1) Select the Selection Tool 2) Click where the change needs to be made 3) Go to Utilities Menu > Change Instrument 4) Select Blank Staff > Blank Staff 5) Go to Window Menu > ScoreManager 6) Click the Arrow next to the Staff name (Trumpet for example) 7) At the bottom of the expanded list after the layer info and all, click on the staff named "Blank Staff". This is the change. 8) Change the transposition to Bb up M2 (for a trumpet for example) then click on Device > JABB 3. Click on Sound > And select the mute you want. If you don't see a JABB option under the Device listing send me an email and I'll send you the SoundMap.

However the only instruments available under this command are the Finale included ones, not the JABB instruments that I have installed.
