FR: System objects above specific players/groups

[Christian_R]

@hrnbouma

Another scenario that custom families won’t solve: what if you have, for example, two antiphonal wind quintets, where you want system objects to appear above both groups? Surely someone will suggest messing with the instrument definitions but I hope you’ll agree that that’s an ugly hack when Player Groups are right there.

I think you are confusing “Groups” with “Families” @hrnbouma …
Anyway if I understand your issue with system objects, I found out that the new Instrument Families functionality resolves it:

1. Just go in the Instrument Families Editor (in Library menu), click on one family that appears in both Groups of your Setup (for this example Woodwinds), click New from selection, rename it as ww2 for example (you can also activate the little star icon to have this in all projects).

2. Then in Layout options/Staves and Systems/System Objects check both Woodwinds and ww2 families.

3. In this way the System Objects will appear on the top of both Groups (the “two antiphonal wind quintets”) (or better said on top of both Families, since now the woodwinds and their doubles belong to both Families: the default Woodwinds and the ww2).
