Player, layout, and instrument names
In Dorico Elements, 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.
The three different names that relate to players and instruments are:
●
Player name
●
Layout name
●
Instrument name
You can change all of these names for individual players independently of other instruments of
the same type. Each name is used in different places. Player and layout names are shown using
text tokens.
