By default in Dorico Pro, player labels have erased backgrounds so they do not collide with staff lines if they must be positioned within the staff in dense scores. You can change this default setting for all player labels, including changing their erasure padding.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E to open Engraving Options.
  2. In the category list, click Condensing.
  3. In the Player Labels subsection, activate/deactivate Erase background with padding.
  4. Optional: If you activated Erase background with padding, change the value in the value field to change the erasure padding around player labels.
  5. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

All player labels project-wide have erased backgrounds when Erase background with padding is activated, and do not have erased backgrounds when it is deactivated. When they have erased backgrounds, the erasure padding is determined by the set value.
