3 Player name

Shows the name of the player. Dorico Elements automatically adds the names of the

assigned instruments to the player name. If required, you can rename the player.

4 Add instruments icon

Opens the instrument picker from which you can select an instrument for the player.

5 Instrument labels

Each instrument assigned to a player has its own instrument label. If you hover the mouse

pointer over an instrument label, an arrow appears that allows you to open a menu with

further options that allow you to, for example, change the instrument names or move the

instrument to another player.

The action bar at the bottom of the panel contains the following options:

Add Solo Player

Adds an individual player to your project. Dorico Elements also automatically adds a

part layout for the player to the Layouts panel.

Add Section Player

Adds a player to your project that represents multiple players who all play the same

instrument. Dorico Elements also automatically adds a part layout for the player to

the Layouts panel.

Add Ensemble

Adds multiple players to your project that represent standard combinations of

musical instruments. Dorico Elements also automatically adds part layouts for each

player in the ensemble to the Layouts panel.

Add Group

Adds a group to your project to which you can assign all types of players.

Delete Player

Deletes selected players or groups from the Players panel.

The order in which the players are listed in the panel is the default order in which they appear in

layouts. You can change the player order for each layout individually in the Players section of the

Players page in Setup > Layout Options.
