Dear All,
I am using Dorico 5 Elements and I would like to change the names as in the menu (2).
When I change the names (3) and then click ok (4), no change is overtaken and (5) is as it was before.
Thanks and best regards,
Alain
IIRC This is a known situation the Team is endeavoring to put back aright.
One can in most circumstances opt to use the Player name instead, if only as a stopgap, although if one has a player holding multiple instruments this will create a problem.
ok thanks, then I will wait for the next version that will fix it.
Yes, this is indeed a small bug in the latest Dorico Elements update. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience. We will have this fixed as soon as possible.
I can confirm, with Version 5.1.32.2114 (Apr 18 2024) working!
Thanks fox fixiing it.
Best regards,
Alain
Hello, I’m running the current Dorico Pro 5.1.81 and I am running into this problem. In Setup mode I have changed the Instrument Name under the Player dropdown. The text settings in the edit window default to Staff Labels in the Paragraph Styles dropdown. I change the names, but the names that display in the score remain. Specifically, I am working on a reduction of a brass chart for 2 trumpets and 2 trombones. I have both trumpets together on one staff and both trombones on another. I cannot get the score to display the “Trumpets 1, 2” staff name instead of the default “Trumpet in Bb.”
Welcome to the forum @JRK.
There are two names - the Player Name and the Instrument Name - and you can elect to show either in the staff labels.
I have a feeling that you have selected to use the Player Name but changed the Instrument Name. Am I correct?
Thank you for the fast response! I just solved it in the Layout Options. I had to change the settings to display player name instead of instrument name.
