Restoring default layouts
You can recreate all the part layouts that Dorico SE provides by default, for example, if you
accidentally deleted some part layouts.
PROCEDURE
●
Choose Setup > Create Default Part Layouts.
RESULT
The default set of part layouts is restored, recreating a single part layout for each player that
contains all ows in the project. Any part layouts that were recreated are added at the bottom
of the
Layouts list. Their order matches the order of the corresponding players in the Players
panel.
Player, layout, and instrument names
In Dorico SE, you can use three different names to refer to the same player in different contexts.
This allows you to show relevant information in different places in the score.
The following names relate to players and instruments:
Player name
The name of each player in the Players panel. Player names do not appear in any
layouts by default. Instead, you can use the player name as part of your own workow,
independently of what instruments and players are called in staff labels and layout
names.
Player names are automatically generated when you add instruments.
Layout name
The name for each layout in the Layouts panel. They are used at the top of individual
part layouts by default.
Layout names for part layouts are automatically generated when you add instruments
to the corresponding players, and are linked to the corresponding players’ names until
you rename the layout.
Instrument names
Used in staff labels. This means that the instrument label on each staff is relevant
to the instrument or percussion kit currently being played by that player, rather than
listing all instruments that player is playing in the
ow.
For example, if a clarinettist is doubling bass clarinet, the staff label where the player
plays clarinet automatically shows
Clarinet, and the staff label automatically shows
Bass Clarinet where the player plays bass clarinet.
All instruments in Dorico SE come with a set of instrument names that you can change
for individual instruments, independently of other players in the project holding the
same instrument. You can also save changes to instrument names as default, which
