FR: Minimal Condensing Labels for 2 players

I’ve been looking at a number of orchestral scores recently, and for staves of 2 players (which is by far the most common type of condensing), most of them use either two-note chords or two separate voices (with floating rests), so that instrument labels are very rarely used. Usually, there’s only the occasional ‘a 2’ for prolonged unison passages.

While this can currently be done, it requires a lot of manual Condensing Changes.

If Notation Options provided settings to achieve this style, it would be a massive time-saver. I’m sure this has been requested before, but just thought I’d mention it while it was fresh in my mind.
