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.
Player, layout, and instrument names
In Dorico for iPad, 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.
Renaming players
You can change the player names of players, and reset renamed players to their default name. Player names do not appear in any layouts by default, but are used to generate layout names and appear in guide instrument labels in galley view for players holding multiple instruments.
