Hi there. Just wondering if this is possible, and if not what a solution could be?
I wanted to add a section in my Default “First” template for each separate flow that adds “Cue” lines, and I added a frame that just said:
Cue:
[TEXT]
Which I manually changed in all of the pages that I needed it on my Piano Vocal. I was curious how this would affect my Vocal Score template that I have running alongside, but it hasn’t copied over the manual text change.
I have attached a screenshot of my Piano Vocal page 58, which has the ‘Page Override’ error (as I manually changed the Template to include this “Cue” line), and a screenshot of the same song on my Vocal Score layout.
I considered using 4 different tokens in flow information for the bold name, text, and the next line of bold name and text (which I sometimes use), but then I would struggle to place a bold+italic [GO] where I needed it.
I user the Other Information field of File > Other Info to add cue lines for each song (flow). With its Markup (“Markdown”?) capabilities, one can now add bold and italics to the text in that field.
First, page overrides are not errors. It’s true that the usual advice is to avoid them, or at least to leave them until the end of the layout process, because they cause your page to stop responding to template changes. But there’s nothing inherently wrong with them.
Second, just to be clear, I think you didn’t change the template to include the cue line. You did add the generic text frame to the template, but then I think you edited the page directly in the piano vocal layout – which is what caused the page override.
As @Derrek suggests, one solution is to edit the template so that your new text frame contains the token {@flowOtherInfo@}, and then put the cue line into the Other Info field for each flow in Project Info. That will let your template pick up the appropriate text for each flow. (You’ll need to remove any page overrides on the appropriate page in order for this to work.)
