For example, 4 players are notated on one stave.
How do I make sure that in places (okay, let’s say in systems) where players play in unison in pairs or all at once their numbers are displayed horizontally instead of vertically?
For example, in one of the systems, 4 players play in unison. And I have their numbers arranged in a column:
1
2
3
4
Why complicate things so much? After all, it takes up space vertically! Can’t Doriko put it this way:
1-4
Alternatively, if the players play 2 different unison in pairs on the same stave, then this could be indicated as follows:
1.2.
3.4.
But for some reason, Dorico always indicates the numbers of the players in a column. As soon as I didn’t play with the engraving parameters, I still can’t get what would be suitable.
Thank you, but this is not what I would like to expect.
In this case, the player numbers will always remain horizontal (as a row), regardless of who is playing what pitch:
However, this is an unfortunate feature where the user has to make add-ons for each system. Doriсo could have determined this himself, because although at the beginning of the system the players are not distributed in this way, but still there are empty bars, and it was possible to calculate that in the next entry of the players the distribution will be exactly this way, and indicate it in advance at the beginning of the system. Is it difficult?
It does seem that when the first bar(s) of a system are empty, Dorico considers the previous distribution for the staff labels rather than the following one. I imagine anticipation would be complex for several reasons?
I guess this has already been discussed somewhere in the forum.
