Soprano voice Condensing issue

The soprano voice is not condensing and does not show as a instrument/voice available for condensing.

Hi cccm,

firs of all, your soprano is a Section player: in Setup mode, change it to a Single player (creating an empty handed player and dragging the “soprano” instrument into it).

Then if you do Reset the instrument names (from menu Setup), you see that you used a Choir instrument for the soprano: change it in a real soprano.

Now you are able to create a custom condensing group (Soprano+Alto) in Layout options>Players>Condensing (you need to delete the alto from the right groups panel, first).

Please consider that condensing for vocal+lyrics is not jet full implemented, and you need some manual work to have a satisfying final result.

Nice fix. I can delete the lyrics for one of the condensed vocal parts.

If you insert a Condensing change, you can force the Sa and TB into one voice, so the lyrics will amalgamate (when you have the same lyrics/rythms)

I found the condensing change in the engraving mode. I set a change at bar 1 for soprano/alto but do I do not see a change in the duplicate lyrics. Did I miss a command?

I set a manual condensing change at bar 6 (for SA) and at bar 10 (for SA and for TB):

And here the Dorico file:

Thanks again…saved me a few hours figuring it out.

You are welcome, @cccm.
