Notation reference
Divisi
Divisi is when players split, or divide, in order to play multiple lines of music, commonly for a limited passage, before returning to play together, or tutti. Divisi passages can be notated with all lines on a single staff or across multiple staves.
Unison ranges
Unison ranges are passages of tutti music that are replicated automatically onto all staves when divisi passages start/end partway through systems; that is, when you change from unison to divisi, or vice versa. This ensures there is no ambiguity about what players are expected to play at any point.
Hiding/Showing unison range colors
You can show unison ranges in a different color so you can identify those passages more easily.

Hiding/Showing unison range colors

You can show unison ranges in a different color so you can identify those passages more easily.

When unison range colors are shown, notes in unison ranges appear gray. Notes on the top staff remain black, as Dorico Pro notates real notes in tutti sections on the top staff in the section by default.

Unison range colors are considered annotations and are not printed by default.

Procedure

Choose View > Note And Rest Colors > Divisi Unison Ranges.

Result

Unison range colors are hidden/shown.
