Record Ahlborn Midi Organ in 3 Systems

Dorico

Hello, I want to record a piece on my Ahlborn organ.
It works with MIDI, but if I have a three-staff system, as is often the case with organs, Dorico can’t record it properly.

I’d like something like this:
System 1: Soprano - 1st voice
Alto - 2nd voice
System 2: Tenor;
System 3: Bass.

Can Dorico map this, or at least reliably represent each voice from my MIDI as a voice on one system? I’ve already tried recording on two systems, but if I wanted to select the 4th voice, for example, notes from the 3rd voice were also selected. It would be extremely tedious to figure this out, even though I recorded it on manual and pedal.

Thank you for your tips!

In Dorico, all midi input will go to all of the staves which you’ve currently selected. So except for setting up a grand staff split point, you can’t directly record all of those at once with different notes on different staves. (Not today at least.)

TBH while I love Dorico for many many things, it is not my goto for more complex live recording. If you capture midi separately, by channel, it is faster for me to import/paste each channel where I want it for situations like yours. Using Cubase, etc. for the actual capture.
