I condensed the French Horn players into groups of two, yet I’m seeing some weird notation issues when they’re condensed. In this example, FH 1 & 2 are both playing the same note, yet it shows up twice. The measure before that, the triplet notation also appears twice despite the notes being played in unison. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
EDITED! It is likely because in bar 5 your horns1 &2 are not unison.
If you put a condensing change there, Dorico should think the 1st 4 bars are a separate phrase and combine them a2.

Measure 5?

Thank you!
I’m still a bit confused about the solution though (sorry I’m still new and getting used to Dorico). If I don’t want the horns 1&2 to play in unison on that fourth bar, which setting should I toggle to make Dorico think that the first three bars are one phrase?
This is normal when using opposing stems (multiple voices) in a condensed passage.
I think @Janus meant the first four measures are unison. You could put a condensing change at the start of measure five (the incomplete measure where the voices play different notes) and (depending on what came before your screenshot) that would let the two horns play a2.
