Different Notes Between Score and Parts

Dorico
1

I’m arranging for a marching band. The score has certain instrument parts setup on the same staves while the instrument parts are individual. For example; I have 2nd and 3rd clarinets on the same bars, but I created individual parts for each. I’m wanting the 2nd clarinet part to have the top notes (when there are chords happening), and the 3rd part to do the same. If they play in unison, both parts need to have the same notes. I tried deleting the top or bottom notes, depending on what part I was viewing, and the notes are also being deleted from the score. How do I make it to where I can delete notes from the individual parts but not affect the score? I’ve uploaded my project to see if any you pros have any suggestions. Any help would be great! If there’s also a way to have Dorico automatically put the correct notes between the individual parts, I’m willing to learn how to do that as well! Thanks for the help!

I think the most flexible way and recommended way would be to start with each player on a seperate staff, and use condensing to combine the notes of those 2nd and 3rd Clarinets into one.

See the manual.

The manual contains a video which is made in Dorico 3, you might find a Discover Dorico video on this subject which is based on D5 useful

I honestly forgot about that! I’ll watch that video and go from there! Thanks for the info!

I have a few questions now. I did setup condensing for the 2nd and 3rd clarinets. However, How do I not have the whole rests appear, the 1 appear, and how do I get dynamics to go under the notes instead of them being on top of the staff? Also, the parts for the 2nd and 3rd clarinets still have both notes on the same staff. What am I doing wrong?

Try this option under Library→Notation Options→Condensing

OK, that helped for the rests! Now, what about the numbers 1 and 2 that appear over the bars? How do I hide them?

It would be easiest to tell if you could share your project.

How would you know which clarinet is playing without the numbers?

Just by looking at the notes… 2nd clarinets play the top notes and the 3rd plays the bottom notes.

11

In your example only one of them is playing. which one without numbers?

Because they’re playing in unison…

Then copy the music to the other clarinet.

This is the staff label that appears after condensing. How do I get rid of the vertical 1 and 2?

15

If you look in Galley view, which is never condensed, you see you’ve entered both voices in each clarinet

It would be less confusing if you omit 2nd and 3rd from your player names

For your first question, is this what you want? I copied the 2:nd clarinet to the 3:rd clarinet, except when the notes were different.

Why would I do that when I need to know which staff, in this case between the clarinets, is for just the 1st clarinet and the 2nd and 3rd clarinets. That makes no sense.

Autonumbering takes care of that

I’d suggest to create seperate players for Piccolo and Flute too

No, I’m not separating flutes and piccolo. Also, that’s NOT what I asked. I asked to get rid of the VERTICAL numbers.

Your first question was.

Condensing will take care of that.

But, the starting point would be 1 player per instrument (instrument changes are not happening in your score). And each staff has all the music for that player (and that player only)

That way you could condense 2 players onto one staff for te score, and have eacht their seperate parts.
