Advanced notation layout

Hey,

As a New Music Composer I’m having difficulties in hte layout of on eof my compositions. I would like to have a full score where only the instruments played are being showed outside of a grid. A good example would be Penderecki’s “De Natura Sonoris”, where staves are seemingly floating and change in relation to the instrument’s playing. I want to have more option in regards to non-traditional notation.

could someone help me?

Dorico doesn’t currently have native support for Penderecki-style cutaway scores, though it is frequently requested and is absolutely in our plans for the future. The workarounds that people employ to try to replicate this kind of look with Dorico’s current feature set are ingenious but very labour-intensive, and are hard for me to recommend. But if you want to see what others are doing, a search on this forum for “cutaway score” will reveal lots of past discussion.
