Text frames and instrument changes - how to do this

This just took me a couple of minutes:

Of course, I already have Dorico configured with a few hacks to make this easier.

  1. Obviously it’s easy to go ahead and set up a Boxed Text Paragraph Style.
  2. I already have a 1-line non-percussion staff set up in my default. Here’s a thread where custom instrument set ups are discussed.
  3. I never use the small slash slash notation, so I have my small slash notehead deleted from the Notehead Set. I can apply slash notation, click the small slash property, and then I basically can create a “blank notation” region.

All those above tricks make stuff like this go a lot faster!
