numbers for divisi
Hello,
I love the new Leland/Edwin fonts for MuseScore. Really nice job.
But there is something that is still missing when dealing with orchestral music. I can't indicate the numbers of the divisi (see below).
I've searched solutions over the forum and the web, but I found nothing.
So first, is it possible to do it ? If yes, please help !
If not, does someone know if developpers are working on it ?
Best regards

Thank you, but this trick does not really work...
The name of the instrument is not properly centered. And the numbers on the first staff are not on the good place.

Insert an horizontal frame https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/frames#insert-append-hf
Text added 3 times to position it.

DO I have to add it manually to all pages ? I thank you for your help but to me it looks more like a trick than a real solution.

Probably better the first suggestion by adjusting the spaces by Staff Properties (answers of a common user).

yes... it's probably the best thing to do until the next development.
Thanks Shoichi
For this to properly work MuseScore would need to change the way it handles Instrument names. In MuseScore one Insrument has one Name, and if you want a Division such as this you’d need to add all staves as one instrument.
The proper way to do it would be something such as Lilypond does it: Any staff can have an instrument name, staves can form Groups that themselves can have Instrument names.
Of course doing this in MuseScore would mean lots of effort. But we could do a compromise and just let not only the instrument have an instrument name, but every single staff also have a separate name. This could be done with reasonable effort (as it does not require a big change to how MuseScore organizes Staves).
