Hello, I’m working in a full orchestra piece and I have a doubt about how to do the vertical spacing. I have 3 different contexts:
First page, with the titled
full orchestra all the staves open (flute 1, flute 2 in different staves, etc…) and string section all in divisi, plus two solo violins (one in v1 and another in v2)
the same that point 2 but without the 2 violins solos.
Point 2 are a few pages after page one, and the rest of the work will be like point 3.
I want equal distance between staves in the three parts, and point 1 and 2 similar to point 3.
I was revisiting all the tutorials about vertical spacing, but I don’t know what would be the best solution.
That’s going to be a lot of staves. How big is the page?
Given that spacing will be tight, it’s unlikely that you can guarantee equal spacing, because of ledger lines, dynamics, expressions and other markings between the staves.
Dorico can automatically space out the staves on the page very well; but if you are trying to compress too much material onto the vertical space, then you may have problems.
As ever… we need to see a document to give particular advice.
I have a version of this work in Finale, but now I’m trying to do a version in Dorico. The reason is because I feel more better in Dorico becouse the traitment of parts. And for possible future changes.
In Finale I have the full score finished, not the parts. And my intention is nor to do the parts in Finale
In my version of Finale I have 3 differences sections with 3 different distances between staves, equal in the 3 cases. I want to do the same but I don’t know how to do it in Dorico.
