Dear friends, for to composing big orchestra scores resp. big opera scores I compose 1st a „particell“. Later I instrumentate from that „particell“ a „full score“ .- These kind of work (with particells) is urgend necessary because of the overview and the quick flow in composing. My question: In „Finale“ for the wind instruments I always had 4 empty staffs in a particell, in which I write this instruments. Always I can change this instruments how I want (see screenshot). And I can playback the instruments in their own colors, because I created „Spielanweisungen“ named flute, trumpet etc. which playbacked these instruments.- Can I make it also in dorico? There is f.e. an instrument changing in Dorico via shift + p: pizz. <> arco. Can I create a tool like that, but with the sounds flute <> oboe instead pizz. <> arco? Thanks!
Dorico has very good support for Instrument Changes. You add the instruments to the Player in Setup mode, and then simply write the notes in the staff of each instrument. (You will need to use Galley View to see all the instruments.)
Dorico will then automatically change the instrument and add the instructions.
