You can import .doricolib files containing percussion kits, which allows you to use kits again without having to create them from scratch.

Prerequisite

Your project contains at least one single player or empty-handed section player.

Procedure

  1. In Setup mode, in the Players panel, open the instrument picker for the player to which you want to assign the imported percussion kit in any of the following ways:
    • Select the player and press Shift-I.

    • Click the plus symbol in the player card.

    • Select the player, then click Player Settings in the action bar and choose Add Instrument to Player. You can also right-click players and choose this option from the context menu.

  2. Click Import Kit in the instrument picker to open the File Explorer/macOS Finder.
  3. Locate and select the percussion kit .doricolib file you want to import.
  4. Click Open.

Result

The selected .doricolib file is imported as a percussion kit. It is assigned to the player from whose card you opened the instrument picker.

Tip

You can create and edit percussion kits in the Edit Instruments dialog and make your changes available in all future projects on your computer.
