I just finished a large project in Dorico that required this.

Re: Stem Direction question
Please, librarians have enough to do. Don't make them extract custom parts as well. I often make individual percsussion parts as well as a percussion score so the principal has the flexibility to reassign parts or use a different number of players than specified.
