I’m trying to edit the text on the top left hand corner of my Dorico file which was created in Dorico Pro by a friend. I’m using Dorico Elements and I cannot see where I can edit to show a different instrument other than Clarinet II.
If one cannot change the layout name (right hand column) in Setup Mode and have it trickle through to the layout, then one may be out of luck without a copy of Dorico Pro.
What is your end goal: to view a different instrument’s part that already exists in the project? Or to for example, duplicate the Clarinet part but adjust the transposition so that e.g. a Saxophone could read the exact same music, but with the saxophone’s transposition?
If you want to view e.g. the Clarinet 1 part in the music area, see here:
If you want to rename this part’s name but leave all the musical content the same, see here:
The name at the top left comes from the First page template, which you can’t edit in Dorico Elements.
Likewise, in Elements, you don’t have access to clef/transposition overrides for layouts, which allow you to create multiple parts from the same instrument source, but show them with different transpositions.

I actually added a full score tab and then a 1st Clarinet player and that has sorted the problem. I copied it into the 1st clarinet score.
Tony, that’s slightly confusing.
In Dorico there are Score Layouts and
Part Layouts.
The clarinet part would need to be a part layout.
Reason: by default there are different Layout Options with specially taylored options, both for score and for parts. Especially as you are using the Elements version, these default options are quite sensible.
