How would I set up a drum set in an orchestral score?

Dorico

I want to use a drum set in an orchestral setting. When I am in Setup Mode I cannot choose a drum set from the instrument list, neither can I when I click on Change Instrument in the Players list on the left side. However, when I press Edit Instrument Definition, and click on the Filter By Family option - viola there is a drum set. I choose it, but I cannot make the choice final, since Dorico does not enable the OK button. Are there other ways to set up a drum set in an orchestral score?

You should simply be able to add a new player and assign a drum set instrument to them as you would any other instrument.
