Custom instrument notation

Obviously the lack of an integrated instrument editor in the software means that it’s also a bit of a pain for us to add new presets, but we have some internal tools to do it, which make it a bit less manual than the hand-hacking of XML files those users who are hardy enough to try it have to deal with.

Please rest assured that although we have not been able to address this requirement in the ongoing work on the next major version of Dorico, it’s a high priority item for us to address in the future, but it really will be quite a big undertaking and we can only undertake two or three really involved chunks of work at the same time, so it has to wait its turn. I hope it won’t be too much longer, but until it’s actually scheduled and underway I can’t say how long that wait will actually be.
