Hi. I’m writing a piece for piano trio (pno, vln, vcl), and the cello must have 2 systems. I want each system to be labeled “left hand” and (you guessed it) “right hand”. How do I do this for a solo player? As of now I have tried just adding an extra staff above, but I seem not to find a way to naming this: Dorico interpret now the cello as having some kind of grand staff.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Use the divisi feature, and you can label the staves as you wish in the divisi settings.
Note: to use the divisi feature, the cello must be created as a section player.
Thank you Dan.
I know about this solution, hence my question about solo player.
Nevertheless, I think you are right: I have to change to section player to do this.
Jan, in engrave mode, you can do a bracket change to set either a bracket or a brace (or nothing at all!) just as you desire.
Jan, you could simply add two solo cellos. Dorico would call them Cello 1 and Cello 2, but you can easily edit the instrument name in Setup mode to indicate R and L hands.
Thank you Romano & Dan, I think I hav found a solution. Maybe two.
