I can’t find a way adding two or three players to one instrument staff. (In setup mode, not voicing)
For Example, I want to have 4 Horns in F divided to two groups/staves, Horns 1,2 + Horns 3,4.
When just changing with “edit name” the title doesn’t work well typographically and shows as in the screenshot attached.
Also, I guess it wouldnt be completely satisfying just to have the names written nicely but better to have the full score layout and individual layout be accurate too:)
This is also a problem if I wish to add 3 Trumpets in Bb to be notated on the same staff (on full score layout). and so on…
I would like to have a full score/page layout with less instruments devisions when possible.
I might be something fundamental on this one, I am a new user, and I would greatly appreciate any advice or recommended approach to this issue in Dorico.
The Dorico concept is players playing instruments. To have these players notated in various ways through a score, e.g. sometimes 4 horns on a single staff, sometimes 2+2 on two staves, sometimes on 4 separate staves, with proper name handling, has been a much requested feature. As I understand it, the internal architecture of Dorico is prepared to handle this, but the functionality has not been implemented yet.
Hi, a bit late to the party here but one workaround I’ve found that’ll work until we get another update (I do believe this will be included in a future update). In setup mode, you click on the arrow next to the instrument name to open a drop menu that will display the instrument name again in a small blue box. After that, when you hover over the blue box with the name in it, another arrow appears - click this and click edit names. After this you would type in something like “Horn in F 1,2” or whatever way of writing that that suits your tastes and adjust the abbreviated version accordingly.
