Keep Staff Heading?

[pcartwright]

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a little formatting issue. I'm currently using one staff for a pair of woodwinds (literally, I'm using two different instruments sounds) which requires me to route the upper voice to one instrument and the bottom voice to another. This in itself works well and has pretty good formatting as you can see below with the oboes and clarinets.

However, when I assign an instrument to a player that can play multiple instruments (such as Oboe III/ English Horn), I lose the original heading.

Is there a way for me to send the staff to a particular instrument without losing the staff heading... It would look something like this:

Any suggestions?

I guess I got it.
Assign English Horn to a Staff voice other than Voice 1.
Then change instrument's name position to "Above staff" from "Attachments" in pull-down menu.
You will write notes for EH part in Voice 2, ça va sans dire.
I don't know on Pc, but here on Mac it crashes almost every time I create a "New instrument".
Remember: Notion is a buggy beast: don't ask your players too change instrument too often.
Good luck

Clever little work around; I'll have to try it this evening.

Thanks!
