Condensing Item needs help

[ghfagan51]

In the score I condensed a numer of parts to try and save space… After condensing, I decided I wanted a cres. poco a poco in the score and parts. All went fine until I tried adding the cres. poco a poco to parts that were condensed. As you can see from the Screen Shot, I realized I could not edit any of the condensed staves in Write Mode so I could not add the cres. poco a poco unless I went into the individual parts ei. 2nd and 3rd Trombone in the sample. If I add the cres. poco a poco to both the 2nd and 3rd Trombone part, it appears twice on the same staff in the score. But if I only add it in the score in Engrave Mode, it won’t show up on both parts. I seem to be un a “Catch 22” situation here. I can’t figure out not how to make it appear only once in the score but show up on both parts when I open each part.

Please help.
Thank you

You don’t need to go into the parts, you just switch into Galley view, and you can edit your music normally, even when Condensing is activated. The best, to be sure to add exactly the same dynamic (that will then amalgamate correctly), is to write it in one staff and duplicate to the staff below (or above).

If this doesn’t work, pleas post a Dorico file (cut-down version) that shows the issue.

Christian,
That did the trick.
Thank you!
