In Cubase, selecting overlapping regions in different lanes of the same track in the project window one at a time induces this view in the score editor:
However, Dorico projects exported from the first view do not allow players to be added when opened in Dorico 5. Attempting to add a player in Dorico 5 causes the central area to go blue and all the note data to disappear. I’m currently dealing with this issue in one of my larger projects, and I don’t know which track/instrument/lane is causing the problem, so I’m attaching smaller, pinpointed Dorico and Cubase files that might help the community and developers zero in on what’s happening.
Yes, the example is from two lanes of the same track. If the Cubase score editor shows the two lines as a two stave divisi, the exported Dorico file crashes when a player is added in Dorico. If the Cubase score editor shows overlapped notes in the same staff, the exported Dorico file allows players to be added in Dorico.
Please try opening the two Dorico files and adding a player. I expect you will see that one Dorico project allows players to be added, and the other does not, yet they are exported from the same Cubase project.
Of course the moment after you create the new player, but before you add its instrument, the page area shows only the background. But when I added the player it worked normally.
@aluminuman can you clarify exactly which steps you took for the Score Editor to display the selection as two instruments?
Which layout is selected in the Score Editor? What’s the state of the “Keep Editor Contents” button? Are you selecting the parts via marquee selection in the project window, or clicking individually?
thank you for the video, we’ll continue to look at how the Score Editor can get into this situation.
Just to clarify, our expectation would be, that the selected parts always show combined on a single staff. Otherwise several internal assumptions are being violated, and this will result in aDorico file that will be hard to use.
