I have a player who is assigned both piano and celesta. How do I get Dorico to change instrument in the score and playback? Do I need to have separate brace of staves for each instrument showing in the score? Or is there not a way of simply using text, e.g. “to celesta”?
You simply input notes in the two instruments in galley view. Back in page view Dorico will automatically show the staves with notes in them.
A fairly fundamental concept and feature in Dorico is that of “Players”, who can hold more than one instrument, and switch between them, exactly for situations of this kind. Dorico will them take care of all the labelling required.
I’d read up on Setup mode and Single Players in the documentation.
This is a pretty old video, but it covers the essential points:
