The parts of a score show the “layoutName”, but I fail to assign a bordered paragraph style to it. I did what is shown in the screenshot. What am I doing wrong / misunderstanding?
UPDATE:
Things like back- and foreground color work, in the preview as well as in the score. Why isn’t border showing in the preview? Also, could it be that there is a property “border color” missing? (Maybe it is set to “opacity: 0”?)
Yes, it is set to that very paragraph style. And as you tell me: it is handled via the page template (“first page”), not via overrides (which I made sure are cleared out).
The border options for paragraph styles only apply to text when used in text items (that is, staff- and system-attached text).
Text frames have their own border property; however, this does apply to the whole text frame and won’t dynamically change size if the text inside the frame expands/contracts (e.g. because it’s a token).
