Hi,
I am copying a piece of music, that in the woodwind section uses a single bar for the Flute, but before the bar and brackets, it shows two numburers (I do not mean the timing, but the numbers appear completely at the start:

Flute  1
               2

Piccolo Flute (no number here)

Oboe 1
Oboe 2

in the case of the flute, the two numbers remain at the front of the bar the entire score. Does this simply mean 2 flutes play the same notes?

If so, how can I het Notion the play that 2nd flute

The Oboe 1 and 2 do have separate bars, bracketed together.

Does anyone know how I can get the bar that has Flute 1 and 2 correctly shown (and pkayed!)

Thanks
