Just a question about the layout for the full score and part score. So right now my cello part have one staff in the full score with the divisi. But for the part score I want the two line show on the two staves like that. I just want to know is there any way that I can do in the dorico that only change the part layout without changing the full score one. Or I have to duplicate the score and do it agian…
Full score divisi sample:
In your Full Score Layout switch to Galley View. You will have to do this in Write Mode.
Do you have the two Violoncelli on one or on two staves?
If you have them on two staves, you will be able to generate a Part Layout with those two staves included.
If in Galley View you have both Violoncelli on the same stave (manual condensing), I would first put them onto two staves.
Dorico can do an automatic condensing in your Score Layout.
for condensing I do it manually right now. For Dorico condensing do you just add stave above/below or you add new instrument in setup? I am always confuse with these things…
And I am a little bit worry about the condence function because some of my corhort’s score have these problems because some time the divisi play different shape of lines. Do you have any ideas on how to fix these?
If you do it manually, do you still have the source instruments in your score?
Example:
[Flute 1]
[Flute 2]
[Flute 1, 2] (the manually condensed staff)
If you keep [Flute 1] and [Flute 2] you can make a Part Layout with these two instruments in separate staves.
It is worth exploring Dorico’s condensing feature, because it seems you are doing work, that is not necessary. Dorico can do this better and fully automatic. It needs a bit of time to understand, if things don’t turn out as expected, but this can all be solved.
Another thing, Dorico thinks in Players, holding Instruments. Good to know, when setting up a score.
Hi @shengyuanli0928, in case you need further informations about how to use the fantastic Divisi feature of Dorico (and Divisi can also automatically be condensed), here a short video explaining (and a Dorico file example) un case it could be helpful for anyone:
