Tip: Print or export a range of flows
- Sometimes, when working on projects with more than one flow, it can be useful print or export specific flows for collaboration or proofreading purposes.
- In Print mode, there is an option to set the Print range to flows, where you can specify which flows you want to print or export.
- Dorico will print or export the complete pages containing the flows you selected.
Tip: Remove page overrides to fix layout issues
- Editing text frames directly locks page layout in place.
- This can lead to layout issues if the music changes.
- Reset Page Overrides in Pro using the Pages panel, and using the menu command in Elements.
- Set Project and Flow Titles using the Project Info dialog.
- Now the layout responds to changes in the music.
Tip: Set a Stop position for Insert mode
- When using Insert mode, you should be aware that later music can be affected.
- Setting the Stop position means music beyond that point is not affected by Insert mode edits.
- Use the System Track to show and hide the Stop position, or use the key command Shift+Alt+I.
- You can also drag the Stop position to a new location, or drag it off the music to remove.
Tip: Change a single player to a section player to allow divisi passages
- Single players can hold multiple instruments.
- Section players can divide.
- Single players cannot divide.
- Create a new section player, and drag the instrument from the single player onto it. Its music moves with it. The single player—which is now empty-handed—can be deleted.
- Now you can create a divisi staff for the section player.
Tip: Ignore punctuation when positioning lyrics
-
- There is a new option in Dorico 4.2 that will ignore punctuation when positioning lyrics.
- Find the setting in Engraving Options, in the Spacing section of the Lyrics category.
- The option is set to Ignore by default for new projects.
