The handbell guy branching out a bit… I’m working on a four-hand piano duet. I haven’t yet tried to put the lower part on the left page and the upper part on the right page.
I got as far as realizing the first page, which is a right page, can’t have music on it, so it must be a title page. But I found I was not allowed to delete a music frame and no matter how small I made it Dorico still put the first staff on that page.
I read a bit on how to make a title page, but the manual pages I read seemed to discuss how to make a new page template, not how to make a specifically title page. I began working with an empty page, but don’t see how that becomes a first page.
I saw a couple previous forum questions on title pages. They were from 2016 and 2019 so I’m not sure they are still applicable.
The answer worked – I got what I need. However, I see a title page is only necessary because I can’t delete the music frame in the first page. It seems I can’t delete a music frame but I can fail to add one.
What do you actually want to end up with? If you just want the first page of music to be a left-hand page, change the initial page number to be number 2.
Whether you want the real “first” page to have a title page design if you ultimately print this out as a hard copy, is up to you.
