Players in Dorico Elements

In Dorico Elements, a player can represent an individual musician or several musicians.

Solo players are individual musicians who can play one or more instruments, for example, a clarinettist who doubles on alto saxophone or a percussionist who plays bass drum, clash cymbals, and triangle.
Section players represent multiple musicians who all play the same instrument, for example, a violin section player can represent eight desks of musicians, or a soprano section player can represent the whole soprano section in a mixed voice choir.

Note

Section players cannot double instruments, but they can play divisi. This means that they can be divided into smaller units, which is commonly required for strings.
