Description of my problem: I have an orchestral score with 47 parts and a total length of 454 measures. I would like to export sections (e.g., measures 135-147 of Violin 3 and 4) as audio for individual musicians to practice. Basically, as training material for at home.
I can export the individual parts, that’s not a problem. However, I can’t find a place to export only individual sections. I can listen to individual bar ranges by selecting them, but I can’t find the place where I can export them as audio.
Hi, 
Thanks for the quick reply!
Unfortunately, that’s not my problem. Extracting a single instrument or a few individual instruments is no problem. However, I only want to save a section, e.g., measure 135-147, as audio.
I can’t do that with the “Solo” function.
I think this is only possible by routing Dorico’s audio to a DAW with a router, e.g., VB-Audio Matrix
There are probably other tools, but this jumped to mind because I played with it for a while.
Then you can use the standard method of selecting certain staves and hitting ‘p’.
EDIT: there is also this: Blue Cat's Connector - Audio and MIDI Streaming Plug-In (VST, AU, VST3, AAX) that I played with as well. Although it advertises “over the network”, the destination could be on the same machine.
Ah, a section is not a “string section” but a few measerus from a flow ?
Can’t find how to do that with Dorico 
A poor man’s solution would be to do it in Audacity or some other Audio editing tool

Mmmhh,
I’m currently solving this with WaveLab. But it’s quite tedious. I was hoping that Dorico would have a function for this. As a long-time Final user, I’m a bit spoiled in this regard.
When I cut out 20-30 bars from 10 instruments, it takes me quite a long time.
Oh well, I’ll keep looking…
Many thanks
Do check out Blue Cat’s connector. It’s just a VST that you load in Dorico that can send Master Out to any other VST host program for recording.
How about: Select the first bar of a section and do Write > Split Flow. Repeat for each section, so that the sections you want to export are each in different flows.
Then do File > Export > Audio, and make sure “Export each selected flow as a separate file” is ticked.

Moin,
that sounds interesting!
Can you send me a screenshot of the menu item? I’m working with the German version and there is no “Split Flow.”
Or maybe I just don’t know where to look 
Split flow is down near the bottom of the Write menu. You may need to scroll to find it.
In German it’s called Partie trennen in menu Schreiben

i found it 
I found it and I understand the idea behind it, I think it could be the solution! Currently, I still have the problem that it doesn’t write out the flows after clicking on “Split flows”, but it is possible that’s more due to my lack of understanding of flows. At the moment, I only ever use one flow. I’m going to work through a tutorial on flows first. 
I’ll take care of it again tomorrow and report back.
Thank you very much for the ideas.

I’d say the easiest solution would be to duplicate your flow (right-click the flow in the bottom panel, Setup mode), use the system track to delete the bars before and after the bars you need to isolate, then export audio that second flow.
