When using the Comment feature on a piano (or multi-staff) instrument, only “Piano” gets written in the instrument identifier. Assuming one has comments in both hands, how can we distinguish them without manually writing “RH” or “LH” in the comment’s body?
You can’t. You will have to mark it in the comment.
Understood, thank you.
I’ve marked it as a feature request.
It is just another step.
Comments also don’t automatically register the rhythmical position in a bar, so one needs to add “on beat 4” or something similar to make commenting a useful tool for “critical editions”.
At this point, it would help if those things were registered as well.
I’m sure that, since a comment can appear in any rhythmical position in a bar, its position could be read by the property already storing the range of bars and just show it.
It is also possible that this kind of fine-tuning could be waiting for when highlighting will be covered by Dorico.
