It would be so great if I could end the year by solving this problem that has been bothering me for over a week… My layout is impossible because of what looks very much like a bug in Dorico: even if I explicitly ask for condensation, it doesn’t always do it… Example here: in measures 56 and 57, T1 and T2, as well as B1 and B2 are in unison. However, they appear in divisi, so the condensation didn’t work. Does anyone have an explanation? To me, it’s a bug, because the rhythm, the lyrics, the slurs, the lyrics, everything matches! And I’m not even talking about all the passages where the amalgamation (which I requested) doesn’t happen…
If you have any ideas (even tonight), I’m all ears!
It’s just a way of keeping the file smaller and more focused. You can delete measures (and flows) before and after the passage you’re interested in, and delete other players, then save as a new file – as long as what you wind up with still demonstrates the issue.
Hi @rakatafla, adding to the kind suggestion by @asherber, here a very helpful general post (you find a further detailed workflow to cut-down a project at #4):
I was wondering whether just erasing the lower unison part and then copy/pasting the upper part would erase some minor discrepancy in positioning or the like that we couldn’t detect.
