Condensing in conductor score

[MBM37]

Hi all, the three screenshots are of the same score. Why do they look different and how can I make them all look like tenor saxophones?

Thanks in advance and best regards.

Hi @MBM37 – Dorico will only group instrument names when they’re the same, and your horns and bassoons have different abbreviations. Try resetting them to their defaults and see if Dorico then groups them. (Hn and Bsn traditionally aren’t appended with a dot/period because the last letter of their abbreviation is the last letter of their full name)

For showing the numbers consistently vertically stacked, see here (you want “Vertically” and “Ignore stem allocation”).
