Hello, I’ve just printed out the Violin I part from my new orchestral piece - haven’t begun editing it. Very pleased already with the result, but I’d like to know if it’s possible to edit cue indications - for example, in
m. 81-82 the cue is copied from Clarinet 1, but the same notes are also being played by bassoons and horns, and I’d like the cue prompt to read ‘Cl. 1, Bns, Hns.’ Is there any way to edit this? - And a second question, is it possible to add a second voice to a cue? Usually this would be unnecessarily complex, but occasionally it would be helpful to show two voices in a cue - or to show octave doublings. Thanks in advance!
The most reliable way to do this is to create an additional dummy player, write your chords in there, cue from that, adjust the aforementioned Start text property and ultimately hide said player from the score layout. Obvious downside is that keeping the cue consistent with the actual parts is now your own responsibility.

You can have cues that show different instruments simultaneously:
Method 1):
create the first cue then select the rest of the main instrument, and create the cue for the second instrument. Then adjust the position of label and stems (voice direction) in the Properties Panel:
Method 2):
If for some reason you don’t have a rest (for example if you have customised Notation Options > Rests), you can create the second cue before or after the first cue, then adjust the control points to have them starting at the same rhythmical position, or whatever you need. In this post I show this second method (please ignore the cue notes resized to normal size, because of other request in that thread):
