Percussion bracket

Hi everyone, unfortunately I’ve been stuck with the percussions for several hours and I can’t solve this problem:
I can’t create the same brackets for the percussions. Each page has different brackets. Is there any way to get an identical result for the whole piece. I attach the screenshot (Ok brackets) and the file with only the percussions. I hope someone can help me get out of this block. Thanks a lot

Is this image the result you want for the whole piece?

What was wrong with the solution provided in the other thread?

As @asherber says. Here you will have to create 2 custom families. Put all the instruments from the first bracket in one group and the ones for the 2nd bracket into the 2nd group.

I may have misinterpreted your other post. Do you want the Timp and cymbals on timp bracketed with Perc 1 & 2?

My ideal setup was: 1 bracket (Timp), bracket 2 (Percussion 1 and 2), bracket 3 (Percussion 3, 4 and 5).
I noticed that it takes a lot of steps for a setup as mentioned before. I decided to put everything in one bracket. Unfortunately I noticed that this is not very flexible on personal choices

The issues you’re running into are due to a few factors.

  1. Bracket changes don’t work well if the instruments shown change. They just break.
  2. Normally, Pitched perc and Unpitched perc are bracketed separately. When you have interleaving Pitched/Unpitched Dorico doesn’t know what to do.

Being able to create custom groups is the best way. I know it’s a bit of a pain. But, once done it should work well.

I made an edit to your Project file. It seems to do what you want.
