5 line percussion staff - Wont work I get three lines instead

Hi
There have been several questions about number of staff lines on a percussion kit, but none of them have helped.
As with many, I cannot get Dorico to display my percussion kit with 5 staff lines.
In the attached score (brand new, only player) I want the player to display 5 staff lines.
Instead, I get a staff with only 3 lines.
I created this by first adding a player (with no instruments) then created an empty kit.
I then selected the three instruments I wanted. I this case a snare drum, a bass drum and a triangle.
The kit Definition is set to 5 lines.
Layout->Options->Player->Percussion is set to 5 lines.
In my real score, I went so far as to create copies of the instrument definitions and changed the individual instrument to 5 lines, but as soon as I combined them into a kit, the score comes up with the three line staff.
I’m using Doric 6, brand new user who has just migrated from Finale. This is the first score I’m trying to work with and it is driving me crazy.

Any help would be appreciated

you beat me to it…

Layout options are limited to the layouts that are selected in the right panel of the options window (1)
You can select multiple layouts at once to affect them in one go. But if they’re not selected, the setting won’t change.

Thanks to All

I will swear to anyone that I went through and checked that setting, multiple times on both this and my real score, many times.

I’ve just gone into my real score and re-applied that setting and now it works.
pulls hair in frustration :roll_eyes:

Thanks again

I think that this was the real issue. Not having both layouts selected.
The whole concept of layouts is new to me.

Thanks again

It’s a huge concept, you can achieve so many things with it… Enjoy the journey!
