Ensembles

If you add an ensemble in Dorico SE, multiple players are added to your project at the same time.

Dorico SE 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 SE follow standard patterns, such as double woodwind which refers to two

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

NOTE

In Dorico SE, the maximum number of players you can have in a single project is two. If you open

a project that contains more than two 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.
