Couldn’t find it in the manual…
Is there anywhere a list (or some sort of output), please of every single player/instrument for which Dorico 6 is capable of scoring, please?
Ideally grouped by family.
TIA!
Hi @MarkSealey, well, the Instrument Picker itself contains all the defined instruments, organised by family.
You have also, from menu Library, the Instruments…, and Instruments Families… dialogues, where you can also see all defined instruments, in different ways and with different filter functionalities.
But Dorico gives you the possibility to create your own instruments, and save them as default, so they are usable in all future projects (and they will be visible in those same dialogues)!!
So: no limits

The instruments and instrument families that Dorico knows about are contained in files called instruments.xml and instrumentFamiliesDefinitions.xml in the Dorico application directory. These are used to populate the instrument picker and dialogs.
Here is a zipped CSV file listing all of the instruments and their families. Variants (e.g., all the different available keys of trumpets and horns) are not included.
