Dorico SE automatically loads sounds for the instrument according to the current playback

NOTE
Before you have input any notes, only the rst instrument held by solo players is shown in full
scores in page view. All instrument staves are shown in galley view, so we recommend switching
to galley view to input notes for any other instruments held by solo players.
