Opening piano roll for an already selected instrument

Dorico

When I want to edit some note durations in Play Mode, I generally select them in Write Mode first. Upon opening Play Mode, I feel it should be logical for the piano roll to open on the instrument whose notes I have already selected, rather always opening on the flute (or whatever is first in the score) and having to scroll down. In a large score, the repetition of this gets very tedious.

Is there a way to achieve this as default behaviour? (I can’t help feeling this was the default behaviour at some stage, but I could have imagined it!)

Is there some reason you don’t use the key editor at the bottom of the screen in Write mode to do this?

Hi Janus. Yes, there is an excellent reason, and that is that if I ever knew that was there, I had forgotten about it. :slight_smile: Many thanks for your reply.
