This is the first time I need to create parts in Dorico. What I noticed is that, when an instrument doesn’t play in the first flows there is no ‘tacet’ box for these. Is this normal? Or is there any way to add these to the parts, too? I mean for example the oboe d’amore what starts directly with flow #3.
Parts dobi.dorico (2.8 MB)
I can’t access my computer at the moment but check to make sure the layout contains those first flows i.e. select the layout and make sure all the flows are ticked.
Also, check to make sure tacets are enabled in that layout.
I’ve selected in Layout options all flows and ticked ‘Show tacet for flows where no players are assigned’, but oboe d’amore still starts with No.3 and no tacet for the first 2 flows.
In Setup mode, select the oboe d’amore 1 layout in the Layouts list on the righthand side. Right-click on it, scroll down to Flows and then across to Include All Flows in this Layout. Click on that.
Just to add on to what @DanielMuzMurray and @StevenJones01 have posted: Setup lets you wire things up in different ways. The important thing here is that the layout needs to include all flows (so that something will appear for each flow), but the player only appears in certain flows. Dorico will provide a tacet when the player does not appear in the current flow.
I did all you’ve said, no avail. So after 30 mins of frustration I opened a new empty file, imported all flows from the weird one, and see, it works perfectly as I wanted:)
Many thank for your support though, I’ve learnt a lot from you again.
That surprises me.
Without doing anything else to your file, I did what I described above and it worked immediately.
I assume I did something wrong what I haven’t noticed beforehand. Starting a new project this hasn’t pop up so everything worked as it has to:)
