Setup mode
Setup mode allows you to set up the fundamental elements of the project: instruments and the players that hold them, flows, and layouts. You can also determine how they interact with each other, for example, by changing the players assigned to layouts.
Players
In Dorico for iPad, a player can represent an individual musician or multiple musicians in the same section. Players hold instruments, so you must add at least one player to your project before you can add instruments.
Duplicating players
You can duplicate existing players. This adds another player of the same type holding the same instruments as the original.

Duplicating players

You can duplicate existing players. This adds another player of the same type holding the same instruments as the original.

Note

In Dorico for iPad, the maximum number of players you can have in a single project depends on whether you are signed in/subscribed.

Procedure

In the Players panel, select the player you want to duplicate.
In the action bar, click Player Settings and choose Duplicate Player.

Result

A new player is added, with the same instruments as the original player and is named after those instruments. By default, the player appears below the original player in the Players panel. The original and new players are automatically numbered to ensure their names are unique. However, any existing music belonging to the original player is not duplicated.

The new player is assigned to its own new part layout, all full score layouts, and all flows that originated in the project.
