Applying new boxed Layout Names

[Christian_R]

@Glynn_Davies

how do I then get rid of the original layout name border for just that part?

@Glynn_Davies

is it possible to make the border you described a “rounded rectangle”, to match the existing parts?

Hi @Glynn_Davies you can follow a different approach to obtain what you want:

• Rename the necessary Layout/s in Setup mode so that they contain the desired instrument Names. You should insert Line Feeds in the correct positions in the layout name (in you case after “Clash” and “Snare”), so that Dorico will create multiple lines for the layout name Token. (I use Keyboard Maestro to do this, but there are probably other methods) (1)

• create a custom Page template, based on First, edit it and enlarge the Layout name text frame to give him more space, moving also down the rest of the frames (2). You can then apply this custom page template only to the desired layout and change the Paragraph Style for layout names to rounded. the result is what you wished (3)

1. Create a shortcut to put Line Feeds where needed (into Layout name)
   

   

2. Edit custom Page template
