Change staff label for condensed instruments

[mikeheels]

Hi,

I have Flute 1 and Flute 2 who also doubles with Piccolo.

If I condense (which is what I want) the staff label looks like this:

Is it possible to edit it? I want to write (2nd doubling Piccolo) and achieve something like this, which is something I had to do very frequently on past copying jobs:

thanks!

Using the (adjusted) Player name, condensing them shouldn’t be problematic.

Just to add to Derrek’s suggestion, indeed you can do that by editing the Player name in Setup mode, but make sure to right click the player and choose Rename player rather than double clicking, so you can also edit the abbreviated name.

Then in Layout options>Staves and Systems, under Show player name instead of instrument names, check that player.
