Request: explode voices top to bottom

Dorico
1

I understand that voices should be getting love in a future Dorico release (hopefully the next one!)

So I have a request for your consideration: please allow voices to explode top to bottom, rather than by voice number.

Example: I write a bass note in voice 1, then a fifth in voice 2, and a tenth in voice 3. When I copy those voices and explode them, Dorico explodes them as voice 1 on top and voice 3 on the bottom, so the notes are flipped from what I want. I understand the logic, of course.

My request is that there’s some way to explode so the voices end up in the same vertical order they appear on the original staff, rather than their numerical order.

I was also wondering if there is a way to influence what happens if you explode a 2 part harmony into 3 voices (e.g. Soprano/Alto into S1,S2,A).

In a song that has 2 and 3 part female harmonies, what happens now is that Soprano 2 and Alto get the low part instead of Soprano 1 & 2 getting the same part.

I now need to manually check how many parts there are and explode differently per section (e.g. I explode the 2 part harmony into S2 and A, then copy S2 back into S1).
