Ensembles

If you add an ensemble in Dorico Elements, multiple players are added to your project at the

same time.

Dorico Elements provides a set of predened ensembles that you can use. Adding an ensemble is

one of the ways to achieve building up an instrumentation quickly. The predened ensembles

that you can create with Dorico Elements follow standard patterns, such as double woodwind

which refers to two

utes, two oboes, two clarinets, and two bassoons.

NOTE

In Dorico Elements, the maximum number of players you can have in a single project is 12. If you

open a project that contains more than 12 players, it opens in read-only mode.

Adding ensembles

You can add multiple players at once by adding ensembles, such as a complete string section or

four-part choir.
