Saving a percussion kit as default applies techniques to all instruments in the kit

Hi there. I’m setting up the percussion map of instruments and now that I have all my instruments properly mapped and with the correct playback I want to save them as the default version of said instrument so that I don’t have to set them up again. I figured out that clicking on the star button “save as default” the techniques in the percussion kit are transferred to the default version, which is great.

The issue I’m having is that Dorico instead of copying the tehcniques from each one of the instruments and applying them individually to their corresponding instrument, Dorico has copied the techniques from only of the instruments and applied them to both.

See screenshots for more details.

I click on Cajon (in score) and click “save as default”

Checking the percussion playing techniques of the updated instrument

I’m trying with different instruments and I can’t reproduce the issue consistently as sometimes the techniques seem to copy fine and sometimes it doesn’t so… :person_shrugging:

Unfortunately this is a known issue with using Save as Default on edited percussion instruments (our ref: STEAM-13106).

Thanks @Richard_Lanyon. I didn’t see anything when I searched the forum, I probably didn’t look for it for long enough.
