> With the goal of having a score that uses the right sounds, and one ready for print, do you think that having two parallel Full Score layouts could be a good idea? I’m experimenting this solution: the Play score may also contain the additional players needed for layering of special techniques, while the Print score only gets the players that will have to go to the final printed score.

@Paolo_T hello,  
There is a better solution, especially for Dorico - Expression Maps which allow **multiple VI layering, multiple port and channel routing and also per-note expression routing**. Once this is implemented into Dorico you’ll be able to assign articulations from multiple libraries to a single staff, or to layer two, or more libraries. I think this is more reasonable request.

We need to preserve the score as clear as possible! 🙂
