Piccolo 3 when there's only one piccolo

I only have one piccolo—which is doubled by Flute 3—but Dorico is listing the piccolo part as Piccolo 3. What’d I do wrong?

Could you share the project file, or at least a cut-down version that still demonstrates the problem?

It could be that other piccolos exist in Setup mode, but aren’t used so don’t appear in the music.

Or, it could be that you’ve renamed the Piccolo to include the number in the instrument name explicitly.

You’ll get a definitive answer if you share the project :slight_smile:

I fixed the problem last night so all is well. Thanks.

wescottrog,
do you remember how you were able to fix the naming issue?

Seemed to happen when I was editing the names to show in all caps in the Edit Names settings for each flute.

In a way it’s amusing that we - besides learning how the software works - we also have to get to know, how this software is sometimes trying to help in advance to what we plan to do. It’s a bit like two personalities having to get on with each other.
