I’m sure others can also answer but you basically:
- create 4 players and add to each player the instruments you want them to play in Setup Mode
- when you view your score (or player’s part) in Galley View, you will see staves for all of that players instruments (even if there’s nothing being played). At this point, just write the music onto the appropriate staff of the instrument you want them to play throughout the piece, etc.
- when you switch back to the regular page view, Dorico will automatically consolidate all of the different instruments belong to that player into a single staff, and create “To (next inst.)” indications, etc., etc. Really fantastic implementation, I find. Here’s a screenshot of a portion of something I did involving a percussionist switching between timpani and suspended cymbal:
Hope this helps -
