One violin with no number Adding a second violin automatically generates
numbers for both violins
Instrument numbering applies to individual instruments, rather than players. For example, if an
ensemble contains two ute players and a piccolo player, but the second ute is also holding a
piccolo, then the instruments are numbered in the following way:
●
Flute 1
●
Flute 2 & Piccolo 1
●
Piccolo 2
TIP
You can move individual instruments to different players if you want to change which numbered
instruments are held by each player. For example, if you want the second ute to double second
piccolo rather than rst piccolo, you can swap the piccolo instruments between the players.
Dorico SE automatically generates instrument numbers for players if the following criteria are
met:
● There are multiple instruments of the same type in the project.
● The instrument names are the same.
● The instruments have the same transposition.
● The players holding them are the same type, either solo or section.
● The players are in the same group.
For example, if you have two utes in your project, but one ute is a section player and the other
ute is a solo player, they are not numbered automatically. Similarly, if the two utes are in
different player groups, they are not numbered automatically.

Instrument changes
Instruments changes are when a player holding multiple instruments switches from playing one
instrument to a different instrument. They are usually indicated in full scores and parts with text
indications both after the last note before the change and at the
rst note after the change.
Dorico SE handles instrument changes automatically, including showing the appropriate
instrument change labels, when you have input notes onto multiple instrument staves held by
the same solo player, as long as the notes do not overlap.
