Is it possible to have more than one type of rehearsal mark in a single score?
I’d like to use the usual [A], [B], …, [Z] marks for detailed sections, but also add another set like circled numbers (①, ②, …, ⑤) to show bigger structural divisions.
From what I can tell, Dorico seems to support only one set of rehearsal marks per flow. Is there any way to work around this?
I’m working on a concert band score, so just adding the extra marks as plain text wouldn’t really be practical, especially when it comes to part layouts.
The second set of rehearsal marks appears in the middle of the piece, just like the regular ones, so splitting the flow to work around this isn’t really a realistic option.
In Finale, I was able to do something like this by treating the second set of marks as a separate expression category.
You are right, Dorico has only one set of rehearsal mark style, and while you can change the type (letter, number etc.) per individual mark, how Dorico renders them is always the same.
What you can easily do in the meantime: Create a new paragraph style for the second “layer” of rehearsal marks, give it another type of border and font size and put those marks in as system text.
