Change the position of the page number

Hello. I want to change the position of the page number. It is currently on the top left, but I want to move it to the bottom center. Thank you.

What have you tried so far?
In the page template, it might be possible to simply move it from its default position to where you want it.

Hello, I’m not doing well. I want to move the page number to the bottom of the page. Please tell me how to do it. Thank you.

You do it in the master page templates. Please look at this first (review it a few times, there is a lot in there):

then you will understand it is not done on each page individually, but in Engrave, Right zone, Page templates. You will probably have a First and Default template, the First may not have any page numbers anyway, unless you want to add them there. First, alter your default page template (for both left and right, or do one side and at the top, copy to the other).
When you have applied it return to your score and the page numbers on all those pages should have moved according to your Default template.

Hello. Sorry for asking you again. I’m a beginner in dorico. I watched a lot of videos as you commented. But I can’t find the video that explains how to edit page numbers. If someone could kindly comment with a detailed explanation, I would be grateful. Thank you.

Thanks fixed :grinning_face:

Do you mean page number location on the page or changing them because they are the wrong number?

I want to change the location.

Do you know how to upload a screenshot for us?
We could guide you through the process?
In Engrave mode, do you see the right zone showing?

Could you explain it with a video? Thank you ^^

Finally solved. Now if I can figure out how to put numbers on the first page, this problem will be over. ^^

The first page doesn’t show the page number. Can you tell me how to make the page number show on the first page?

Sorry for the inconvenience. I solved this problem. The problem was {@token@}. ^^ Thank you.

I was just going to reply. Glad you have it as you wish.
Just to confirm, you now have your page numbers positioned where you want them to be, or know how to position them … for each layout for parts and full score? (it is more or less the same process.)

I just figured out this method. If you could tell me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks

If you have it fixed then what you have done is probably correct. You would change the location of the page number token on both the left and right pages for Default and First page.

thank you.

Sorry we took a few replies to answer your question.
We hope you will enjoy Dorico more when you have spent some more time with it, so it starts to become automatic for you. It takes a while to learn new software.

You might like to review the YouTube video again, to consolidate what you have done.
