Hello,
Sorry if this topic has already been discussed, but I couldn’t find the best solution in my search. I have one question based on this screenshot: I can’t delete the duplicate lyric line for the S1 and S2 parts (I thought the condensation feature would have taken care of that…). What should I do to fix this? I don’t want to delete one of the two in galley mode.

Unfortunately, this is the kind of situation where condensing is still not ideal – Dorico’s handling of vocal and choral music for condensing isn’t where it needs to be, because it’s not smart enough to work out where it’s OK to show only one set of lyrics (for example). I’m afraid for this kind of situation you’re still better off handling the condensing yourself, the old-fashioned way.
Greg, it looks like you might also be missing one syllable in m. 23 in the soprano parts (re-).
That might help, but, yeah, condensing with Lyrics is not a great idea at present. There are just too many options.
I would just use one staff with 2 voices.
