My horns are not condensing

[k_b]

Hello, I have asked this before, but don’t recall the explanation.
I have Horn players, who have to change crooks to play Horn in D, Horn in Eb, Horn in A, Horn in F, Horn in G:

For some reason, only the first instruments (Horn inD) condense nicely, all other give me two straight systems. No way to handle this, even not with manual condensing. Is this a feature, which is still absent - or am I thinking the wrong way, how to handle these instruments?

Only the first instrument held by a player can be condensed, I’m afraid.

The answer’s the same as the last time you asked, here:

Condensing: 1 mvt. missing out

Actually, come to think of it, there’s a documented limitation. [image] See page 12 of the Version History. You could work around it by using four horn players instead of two. If you group them separately in Setup mode then you can have two Horn 1s and two Horn 2s. Then you can construct two part layouts, one of which contains both Horn 1s and one of which contains both Horn 2s (or is that Horns 1 and Horns 2?).

The limitation that Dorico can only condense the first instrument held by a player is documented here: Condensing calculations and considerations

Daniel’s asserted that the developers are hoping to relax this limitation at some point, here: Condensed staff with "Allow instrument changes" disabled not showing music of doubling player - #4 by dspreadbury

Thank you Lillie and Leo for the confirmation that this is still expected behaviour.
I will make 10 different Players and give them each one Horn (with it’s singular pitch/crook) and combine each 5 players into one Layout.
That should work out (even if it feels it’s against the “Dorico way” of Players holding Instruments).
[edit] I even need 12 players, as I just discovered. there are also horns in C…
Anyway, trying to add these horn players after having done most of the inputting of 24 flows seems impossible. I fought the application for two hours yet, without success. After a while Dorico just stalls (it does not crash) but prevents saving or any other changes. I was trying to rename added horn players but did not get far. I have to force quit Dorico a couple of times and try again. The diagnostic report reads as follows:
