Deleting layouts
You can delete any layout from the project, for example, if you only want to use a combined
Violin I and II part, you can delete their separate parts.
PROCEDURE
1. In the Layouts panel, select the layouts that you want to delete.
2. Press Backspace or Delete .
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
Given to players in the Players panel. It is not used in the score, 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.
Layout names are automatically generated when you add instruments, and are linked
to the player name until you change the layout name.
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
are then used whenever you add that instrument again in the current project and all
future projects.
