EXAMPLE
A work for string quartet and choir is divided into three movements. The string quartet is tacet
for the third movement, which the choir sings a cappella.
The Dorico project contains three ows (one for each movement), four solo players for the string
quartet, four section players for the choir, and another solo player for a piano reduction. It uses
the following layouts to produce the required performance materials:
Four instrumental part layouts, one for each string quartet player. Each part layout contains
all three ows but because the string players are not assigned to the third ow, automatic
tacets are shown for it.
One full score layout containing all three ows, the string quartet players, and the choir
players but omitting the piano reduction player.
One custom score layout for the vocal score. It contains all three ows, the choir players, and
the piano reduction player.
