I’ve a stave for two tenor trombones, both players play from the same stave. I hope I’ve set things up correctly (see below).
Dorico is still labelling Tenor Trombones 1&2 as ‘TTrb 1’ though, when it should say ‘1&2’. Which settings do I have to change for the allocation to appear correctly?
I understand that a ‘Player’ in Setup mode, is supposed to represent one person, or a section of players, but what happens if the stave is assigned to two players playing unison, as is the case for TTrbs 1&2 here?
Since you have set it for a single player to play two trombones (bizarre in itself?), Dorico only labels the first one that is playing. I suggest you need to use 3 players and (as @Derrek observed) condensing.
I would add an important information here: Dorico will only condense the first instrument a player is holding. That is how it is up to now (4.0.10). So please use as many players as you need to play, or you’re fighting the (clever) software.
