How can I make the names highlighted in orange under “Subsequent Systems” in the staff labels appear in a score created with Section Player?
Do I need to configure this since I’m moving it after adding a single-player mode?
Is it better to add instruments to a Single Player rather than manually offsetting/shifting the bars?"
Yes, if you want mid-system changes, as it appears in your screenshot, then you can create a single-player voice, and give it both “instruments”. Thanks to the instrument changes, the change labels will automatically display the name when the changes occur, and the staff labels will also adapt.
I removed your text entries and just changed the “Instrument Change Labels” paragraph style so there is no border.
I also set the staff label for the first system to Player Name:
And the instruments change labels to “Full Name”

Thanks.
Is copying and pasting the way to move the notation?
Why not, or move to staff above/below (Alt+N/M) can be more convenient. But the result will be the same!

I have a follow-up question.
How do I remove the numbers in the highlighted areas?
It seems like a number is being generated because the names are the same, but there shouldn’t be a number.
Is there a reason why you create another “Ellen” player?
Anyway you can put it in a group (and set Show Player Group Labels to “Never” in Layout Options>Staff Labels), then they won’t be numbered:

Thank you for your reply.
What is the relationship between Player Group Labels and numbers?
Also, can I use the Lucy Ellen player without creating Ellen?
You could, but you would be limited in terms of staff labels, if you have some flows where you want to display Lucy/Ellen at the beginning, and some others where you need just Lucy or just Ellen.
In that case it’s maybe better to have both the single instrument and multi instrument players — users who are used to engraving opera scores might give you better advices.

I have a follow-up question.
The part marked in orange isn’t visible, but when I click “Add staff above” on the part marked in blue, a staff line appears. How can I hide it?
I can see the “+1 staff” marked in yellow, but I can’t see the “-1 staff.” How can I fix this?
Add Staff Above/Below doesn’t work properly with instrument changes. Ossia works well, however, if it can be a solution for you.
I’m using Ossia elsewhere.
Divisi doesn’t work in single-player mode. Do you have any other ideas?
