Creating Percussion Parts

Dorico
1

Hi all,

I’m wanting to create two percussion parts in my orchestral score, one for tuned percussion (xylophone and glockenspiel) and the other for auxiliary percussion (snare, bass drum, cymbals), but I want it on normal 5 line staves with instrument changes marked.

How can I go about doing this?

Thanks!

Create each of the instruments separately in Setup, and add each set to a percussion kit. Enter the music on the separate staves in Galley View, and Dorico automatically unites them into a single staff (with the instrument change indications) in Page View. The relevant starting page in the User Guide is here.

Thanks Mark, think I was trying to do it wrong!
