Customise condensing to only condense staff that's exactly the same

[ryanyz]

I have 3 oboes, with oboe 1 playing a line and oboe 2 and 3 both playing another line, and I want to condense oboe 2 and 3 into one staff.

However, when I try to condense them, Dorico condenses all 3 oboes into one staff, which looks horrible.

Is it possible to only condense oboe 2 and 3 which are exactly the same, and leave Oboe 1?

Hi @ryanyz, and welcome to the Forum!
You can use Custom Condesing groups in Layout Options:

or you can use a Condensing Change for this, for a particular passage.

Or use a combination of the two approaches.

Thank you! This seems to solve the problem.
