Instrument divided into 2 or more staves with group name
Hello! I searched the forum and I couldn't find anything that would help me in an effective way.
I have this score which, at some point, all the instruments in the strings section are going to be divided between FIRST STAND and ALTRI, but I have no idea on how to do it in a way that it's not a text on the first bar of every system on every instrument.
A very common and simple solution is to treat the section like a multi-staff instrument, even with the brackets on the start of every system, but the problem is that I can't find a way to name that multi-staff instrument >and< the individual staves at the same time.
Any ideas?
I came up with this but the VIOLINOS 1 is just a text on the first bar, which makes it very unstable.
Thanks!

Sorry, my bad!
Here is a demo of what I want with just the Violins 1 and Double Basses.
The goal is to, in every system, have the Violins 1 (Vlns. 1) and the Db. automatically inserted by the brackets in between the specific sections of those instruments (First Stand and Altri).
Thanks!

You can do this without using Stave Text on every page.
Modify the Long and Short instrument names of the upper stave in each case (First Desk violins, and Solo double bass). See the attached score for the tricks which I used to get vertical alignment and bold text of the Instrument Names.

That seems to work beautifully fine! I tried something like that, but they wouldn't get aligned. The extra line breakers at the beginning was a clever approach! Thank you so much!
