Hello to all,

Surely a basic question, but I can’t find it in Dorico, nor in topics on this forum: How could we add groups of instrument’s names on the score? Like for example in a choir score, before or under names of singers such as S, A, T or B, the name “choir” would appear like in this score (“Choeur I” and “Choeur II”:

All best

It is not possible to add group names automatically yet, I’m afraid, though this is certainly planned. For the time being you can add it using text, which I would advise you to do only at the end of your layout process.
