Trying my hand at Condensing in a Classical score. I’m getting different styles of numbering for different instruments, and I can’t see where to change it.
I’m sure it’s something obvious. I have searched, but there’s a ‘lot’ about condensing labels…
Basically, I want the Brass’s numbers to be vertically aligned, like the Wind.
I’m not in front of it but from memory it’s the option for whether stem directions should be considered in staff labels. Sorry not to point you right to it; hopefully that
(Relevant bit of the manual is here - condensing / player labels are the ones shown above staves. Anything to the left of the initial barline is a “staff label”)
Stumbled over the same problem here. Can’t figure out how come numbers look so inconsistent and how to solve this issue?
As far as I’m aware I have unified options in Engrave mode. What’s went wrong here?
This has come up a few times in the last fortnight. I still can’t comprehend it. Is Dorico’s decision to do with material that first appears in that staff?
The player numbers are shown on a single line when the material for both players are assigned to the same voice at the start of the system, and shown on separate lines when the players are assigned to different voices on the same staff.
I prefer these on one line. In a perfect world, for Horns I could have a mixture of both, which represents how they appear in the score, i.e. two players on a line separated by a line break:
1.3
2.4
But as far as I can tell there is no variation on the settings which allow for this.
I understand some of these variations would be technically inconsistent but I feel it is totally clear in context. Let me know if I’m missing something here!
I guess the names are not exactly the same. Maybe one is labelled “Flauto 1” and the other “Flauto 2” instead of calling both “Flauto” and leaving the numbering to Dorico?
Thank you for your guessing. I just checked, all instrument names for flute are exactly the same. To make sure they 100% are I even manually copied and pasted instrument names from one instrument label to another, but still have the same result.
Open Layout Options for the score, go to “Staves and Systems”. You have activated to show player names instead of instrument names for Flauto 2, which seems to mess things up here. Deactivate it and you are good
@Estigy thank you very much for your help. I must have been checked that box accidentally and later couldn’t figure out why I had such thing in the beginning of the score.
