Hi there,
Typically when I submit orchestrations, the percussionists want everything as a percussion score – so I write all of the percussion instruments as a single player. Maybe this is a bit short-sighted of me, because now they want me to give them individual parts for each instrument.
Is there an easy way of doing this?
thank you so much!
Move instruments to separate players. You can still create a “percussion score” by creating a new layout, and assigning all players holding a percussion instrument to that layout, in addition to single-player parts.
E.g. using the very simple procedure demonstrated in this video:
Hey there! I’ve read your reply here about creating a percussion score, and watched the attached video several times. I’m sorry, but I just cannot figure out how to do this. I’m also not entirely sure I actually understand what you mean by “new layout”.
What I’m trying to do: I have 3 staves, one for each of 3 percussion instruments. I’m trying to keep just these 3 staves simultaneous on one part that I can give to a percussionist or to several percussionists to divide up the work.
Is there a narrated video or step-by-step on how to do that?
You can create a Custom Score Layout in Setup mode
And attach the Percussion players to it. (don’t forget to attach the flow too)
Which gives you a score with just the percussion instruments
You could also create a part layout, it doesn’t have to be a custom score in order to contain multiple players.
