I have a score that I began when I had just started out on Dorico. I must have deleted the place to add composer and arranger info in the “Engrave” mode. I would like to put back in composer and arranger info. I have added that info into “Project Info” but it isn’t showing up on the score. I have read on “tokens” and such but I am only getting more and more confused the deeper I get into the help forum. I feel like I must be missing something, adding composer and arranger info back in probably isn’t this complicated.
Go to Engrave mode and look to the the top right. If you’ve locally deleted a text field, that’s a page override. It will show up as a red corner on that page, like this:
Right-click on that page and choose Remove Page Override(s). That will reinstate all the text fields to the way they’re defined in the page template. By default this template does include the composer name, but not the arranger name. However, nobody’s stopping you from entering [Composer], arranged by [Arranger] in the composer field.
Tokens are text items enclosed in {@ … @} which pull info from specific fields in the Project Info dialog. So for example {@projectComposer@} in the page template pulls the composer name from that field. In Dorico Pro you can edit the page templates, they can be also found on the right-hand panel in Engrave mode. You can add any other tokens that you want to them, in this case that would be {@projectArranger@}. It’s important to remember that this does not happen automatically when you fill in a field in Project Info.
If that doesn't fix it:
Also important to pay attention to is the difference between project-wide and flow-specific info. Besides {@projectComposer@} there’s also the token {@flowComposer@} referring to the first flow which follows this text field in the layout, and {@flow1Composer@} {@flow2Composer@}, {@flow3Composer@} (and so on) which are self-explanatory.
