Hello, I need help for the attached project.
It was created in a previous version and then updated to 6.2.10.
In page 2, letter A, bar 9, there’s no way to condense the E unison of the Flutes.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.

The problem is that the piccolo (virtually) starts right after the last note of fl. 2, and Dorico won’t condense two instruments that are not in the same pitch…
If you change this Layout Option (players > intrument Changes) to “Before first note”, this system will condense.
…which will however “decondense” the previous system.
Argh… you’re right @RobinHoffmann!
So @stefanorabaglia what you could do is keep the option as it is, and enter a Chord Symbol Region on the first two beats of Fl. 2 at bar 14.
Entering “something” in Fl. 2 at bar 11 would preserve your staff labels of bar 12 as they are (Fl.1/Ott. instead of Fl.1/Fl.2) but would break the multi-bar rest in the Part Layout.
Edit: You can keep the Fl.1/Ott. Staff Label by ticking this option (Layout Options>Staff Labels):
Thank you very much Charles and Robin.
I believe you will agree that this process is unintuitive and that a more automated approach would be highly appreciated. I am placing my hopes in Dorico 7.
All the best
Stefano
Condensing must be an especially complex feature to program, I guess — I think Dorico is the only notation software that provides it. And every major update brings significant improvements in this area, so it will surely keep getting better!
