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.
Changing the default player order
You can change the default order in which players’ staves appear in all layouts, for example, if you added a single player holding a violin instrument after adding all other players but want it to appear above the string section.

Changing the default player order

You can change the default order in which players’ staves appear in all layouts, for example, if you added a single player holding a violin instrument after adding all other players but want it to appear above the string section.

Procedure

In the Players panel, select the players whose default position you want to change.
Click and drag the selected players upwards/downwards.

An insertion line indicates where the players will be positioned.

Result

The default player order is changed. This does not change the player order in layouts with custom player orders.

Tip

You can also automatically sort players according to their type by clicking Sort Players in the Players panel. You can click and hold Sort Players to change the setting to either None or Orchestral.
