Duplicating players
You can duplicate existing players. This adds another player of the same type holding the same
instruments as the original.
NOTE
In Dorico Elements, the maximum number of players you can have in a single project is 12.
PROCEDURE
●
In the Players panel, right-click the player you want to duplicate and choose Duplicate
Player from the context menu.
RESULT
A new player is added, with the same instruments as the original player and is named after
those instruments. By default, the player appears below the original player in the
Players panel.
The original and new players are automatically numbered to ensure their names are unique.
However, any existing music belonging to the original player is not duplicated.
The new player is assigned to its own new part layout, all full score layouts, and all ows that
originated in the project.

Changing the default player order
You can change the default order in which players’ staves appear in all layouts, for example, if
you added a solo violin player after adding all other players but want it to appear above the
string section.
PROCEDURE
1. In the Players panel, select the player whose default position you want to change.
2. Click and drag the player card upwards/downwards in the panel.
An insertion line indicates where the player will be positioned.
RESULT
The default player order is changed. This does not change the player order in layouts with
custom player orders.
