Suppress/Enable playback in one voice colour

In passages like this I’d like to instantly be able to hear:

  • all voices
  • or just one voice

The only way I found of doing this so far is to select one of the voices and suppress playback. But I’m frightened I’ll leave suppressed playbacks in the score. (i.e. when the texture is denser) - even using “undo” it’s also a bit clumsy when I want to switch back and forwards.

  • Can we signpost suppressed playback passages?
  • Is there a better approach to audition just one voice .

Unfortunately it’s guitar music so I don’t want to start putting it on multiple staves . Once on multiple staves my guitarist’s instinct, which tells me if something might be playable, no longer works.

Enable Independent Voice Playback and you can control each (mute/solo) in the Dorico mixer.

thank you. That’s definitely a better approach.

(For anyone else who, like me, uses NotePerformer you have to alter the voice levels in NotePerformer’s own mixer. In some ways that’s even more convenient as NP’s mixer is separate window. )

F3 brings up the Dorico mixer as a detached window as well (fyi).
