Hallo!
I’ve got a baritone sax part that’s playing down the bottom end a lot. In the instrument layout it looks as it should (treble clef; C4 sounding as Eb2), but in the Full Score layout there are a shedload of ledger lines. Adding a 15a marking in the Full Score, of course, is replicated in the instrument part.
Any suggestions on how to get around this?
This sounds like the score view is in concert pitch and not transposed?
How do you want it to look like?
You should be able to select the marking in the part layout, go to the properties panel (make sure “Set local properties” is set to “locally”), and activate the “hide” toggle. That should hide it in just that layout.

Nope, that doesn’t seem to do anything. Also, no hide toggle!

Score View is indeed in concert pitch, which is great… but for the fact there are a zillion ledger lines under the Bari Sax part! Ideally I’d like to add a 15a marking to the bari part in just the Full Score (and not the Bari layout) but I can’t figure out how .
You have the possibility to use the bass clef baritone sax as a instrument. This is in concert pitch.
You have to set a 15ma bassa and hide it in the part.
Lots of ways to deal with this …
Start with the Baritone Sax that’s already set up to use Bass clef in concert pitch.
“Default” clefs can’t be edited for transposition, but once you manually add a clef they can. Manually dd a clef at the beginning of the project, then select Bass for concert and Treble for transposed.
In D5 you can have an ottava marking only appear in a score. Not the way I would handle this, but easy enough if that’s really what you want to do. If you have this in the score …
… switch to Local and hide it in Properties in the part.
Thanks, Fred and Nukkul! There was instrument layout for “Bass Clef Full Score” which has done exactly what I wanted.
Unfortunately I still can’t see how to just add/hide 15a marks locally but that’s not needed now.
That’s a new feature in Dorico 5, so if you’re on an earlier version you won’t have a hide toggle available. If you’re on D5 it’s in the Properties panel under Octave Lines in either Write or Engrave modes. Switch to Local to set it just in one layout.
Oh yes sorry, I didn’r realise you’re on Dorico 4. Lots of really helpful new features in this respect in Dorico 5.
