Setup mode
Setup mode allows you to set up the fundamental elements of the project: instruments and the players that hold them, flows, layouts, and videos. You can also determine how they interact with each other; for example, by changing the players assigned to layouts.
Instruments
In Dorico Pro, an instrument is an individual musical instrument, such as a piano, a flute, or a violin. Human voices, such as soprano or tenor, are also considered instruments.
Combining individual percussion instruments into kits
If a player is holding one or more individual percussion instruments, you can combine them into a percussion kit.

Combining individual percussion instruments into kits

If a player is holding one or more individual percussion instruments, you can combine them into a percussion kit.

Procedure

In Setup mode, in the Players panel, select the player whose percussion instruments you want to combine into a kit.
In the action bar, click Player Settings and choose Combine Instruments into Kit to open the Edit Percussion Kit dialog.

Tip
You can also right-click players and choose this option from the context menu.
Edit the new percussion kit.

For example, you can change the order in which the instruments appear in a grid or on a five-line staff.

A new kit is created containing all the instruments held by the player.

Note

If the player was already holding one or more kit instruments, all individual instruments and any other kits are combined into the first kit.
