Hi,
How can I get Dorico 2 to show the instrument name left of the first stave only and not on everyone stave throughout the whole score?
Layout options/Staves and system/Staff LKabels.
Manual Chapter:
“Hiding/Showing instrument change labels at the start of flows”
Hi jazzdaz - the instrument names shown to the left of the initial barline in each system are known as “staff labels”, and you can hide/show them in each layout differently (and if shown, decide whether they are long or short).
If you also want to show them again only at specific places in a piece, you can do that too.
