I’m having a specific issue when I change instruments in a player. I’ve learned how to add instruments to a player and then notate / toggle between staves in Galley view (great feature!)
However, when I add text or even articulations to one staff/instrument, it appears on another staff, weirdly… I have uploaded two screenshots. The first changes from mandolin (with tabs) to violin, with no issue. But in the second screenshot, I have added bowing articulations that for some reason attach to the guitar part on this player… This happens when I also add text to the staff with notes on it (it goes immediately to another instrument’s staff).
Okay, here’s a strange thing. So this is a screen shot of part of the Player (they are playing all these instruments – gtr, violin, mando, and piano). You’ll see “VIOLIN” is for some reason attached to the top (gtr) staff. Same with the bowing marks. This is the same when I try to attach text to any of the instrument staves. EXCEPT the piano part at the bottom right. For some reason I can attach text to the piano staff.
It looks like you have added the bowing marks to the top stave rather than the Violin stave.
The text in a box is an instrument change notice generated by Dorico for players holding more than one instrument.
The problem is that the notes don’t actually belong to the violin staff - they’ve been crossed over to the violin staff using the “Cross to Staff Below” command, but this doesn’t actually move the notes, it just changes where they draw. I suspect you meant to use “Move to Staff Below” instead. To fix it, select those notes and do “Reset to Original Staff”, and then move them where you want them.
