Edit in condensed staff

Dorico

For Dorico 6, could the axiom “Condensed staffs are only for display” be evaluated. It would be very handy if we could edit in condensed staffs, or explode them on individual basis for editing.

Doricos staff-editing layout is very nice and powerful, but the downside is vertical space and overview. It’s just a lot more staves than if writing 2 instruments on one staff.

Use Galley view, it’s easy to switch and does exactly what you need. If you have two monitors you can also have one window in write mode (galley view) and one in Engrave mode, where you can see the results.

Sorry, switching view can take 40 seconds here on my i5.
2 windows are to slow as well
