Result
The single/section player is added and is automatically named after the selected instrument. The player’s order in the Players panel depends on your current player sorting setting.
The player is assigned to its own new part layout, all full score layouts, and all flows that originated in the project.
Dorico Pro automatically loads sounds for the instrument according to the current playback template.

Players are not automatically added to flows that you imported into the project.

If you want to add multiple instruments to your project at the same time, you can add ensembles or use a project template.
After Completing This Task

You can designate the player as a soloist.

You can change the default order of players in all layouts and set custom player orders in each layout independently.
