I’m sure this has been asked before but I cannot find a relevant topic.
In an orchestral score, let’s say I have 4 horns and 3 trombones. Condensing should be 2+2 and 2+1. If I create custom condensing groups I get two separate staves, each one with their full label (Horn I.II and Horn III.IV).
What if I wanted to have a single staff labels (Horn), then the two staves connected by a secondary bracket (main one is for all brass) showing only I.II and III.IV respectively? Same for trombones: ‘Trombone’ only once and I.II for the top staff and III. for the bottom.
I think I can fake it with a section instrument, add a division and then copy-paste the material in the separate staves which would then be hidden but it doesn’t sound like the proper way.
Am I missing something here?
Thank you so much for your help!
