I’m trying to understand why my II-III clarinets won’t condense to the same voice in the 3rd bar, 5th bar and similar places. I copied the saxophone parts exactly and have no manual overrides anywhere.
Only solution I found was to put condensing changes on both sides of the bar to get them looking like the saxophones (on the same stem, first beat showing “a2”)…is this normal to have condensing changes almost every other bar in a project or is there a global setting that I’m missing? I think I have tried everything… It doesn’t feel right to do this much manual work in Dorico.
Is there perhaps something that could help me in the newest version? I’m running v5.1.81
There are empty bars in Cl 2 throughout this excerpt
There is as extra dynamic in Cl 3 at bar 4
Even if Dorico amalgamated the voices in bars 1-10, the music needs to be in two voices at bar 11
Your Notation Options are set to hide rests for inactive players, labelling them upon becoming active again.
As Cl 3 is playing the whole time, Dorico needs to condense that whole phrase the same way. The way that this will be is decided based on the circumstances above.
I think the only way to get the result you’re after (which I think is legit) is to add Condensing Changes around that bar, which you’ve already concluded.
