0-line staff issue with parts layout

[MicheleGalvagno]

I was looking for the topics where the 0-line staff doricolib could be found and after a good while I gave up with the search tool here, either there is something broken or the post has been removed (strange).

I have the most recent version of the 0-line staff which I remember @FredGUnn uploaded replying to a post of mine (also nowhere to be found through search), and I have noticed that if the played contains only text (no notes), it will not show in parts layouts.
If I add notes, it appears immediately.
I wonder if there is some limitation with it that I have accidentally hit.

Feature request: Additional vertical space

I think I figured out what changed between D4 and D5. D4 will use the uiName in the Add Player selection box, and D5 will use the parentEntityID if it exists. Taking my 0and1Line.doricolib file linked to in the post above, I changed the uiName to add “(uiName)” after the name, just to track where Dorico is pulling the name from, so the file looks like this: [uiname] When adding a player in D4 I then get this … [D4] … but in D5 get this with the same doricolib file: [D5parententity] If I…

Instrument with zero lines

Yeah, there was a change in how Dorico handles these between D4 and D5. I think I figured it out and detailed it in this post. Here’s a new doricolib file for D5 that creates both a 0-Line and 1-Line instrument in the Custom category. Additionally, it creates a Clef for the 1-Line Staff that defines the line to be middle C for ease of input. The image appears wrong in the right panel, but is correct in the score. If you delete that old doricolib file and use this one instead, it should work cor…
