First problem:
I write a lot to wind orchestras and bump into problems with different traditions for different ensembles like “could we have the B-trumpet parts in C” or “could you change your Eb horn parts to F”.
What better tool than Dorico - I copy my whole document and do the wished for changes to print the optional versions.
But why do the cue notes print out in Engrave mode without the note heads in the SAME instrument group - meaning that in the 2nd horn part the cued 1st horn shows only the stems and sharps etc. but no noteheads (also in the newest version of Dorico 5)?
I have to clear the cue-in notes away and do the cueing with the lovely ear again.
Cues from other instruments show correctly but not for the instruments that I just changed, so like one horn to another.
Which gives me the problem number 2:
If I - for any reason - clear a cue away in the Write mode (cannot do it in the Engrave mode for some reason) and have hidden before the actual whole note rests from showing under the cue (reaching over the full length of a bar), I cannot find a ny other way to bring the hidden rests back - meaning that I cannot work with those bars emptied from the cues.
My only trick has been to copy empty bars from elsewhere to make the rests visible and the bars ready for editing again…
There must be easier ways to handle these two problems of mine.
Anyone got a hint?
