I’d like to know if there’s a way to create a template similar to this page in Dorico. Attached sample

Yes, something like this. I use a coda (hidden) to separate the exercises on each staff, and then, each staff is a new flow with Library->Layout Options->Page Setup->Flows set to allow on existing page. You can use Duplicate Flow once you have created the first one.

Thank you, Jesper! Since I’m new to Dorico, how do you create the coda (hidden) you mentioned? What I meant is that I need the whole process to arrive to your solution!
Create the first 4 bars with drums. Select the first note on the 3:rd bar
and create a coda (pict1), then hide it in the lower (properties) panel (pict2)
Then on the 5th bar select the rest and do shift-B write trim in the popover and press enter to remove everything after the first 4 bars. Then in Setup mode, right click the flow and select Duplicate Flow (pict3). Finally, in Library->Layout Options->Page Setup->Flows select Allow on existing page. (pict4)
(Duplicate flow as many times you need)

Wonderful! Thanks a lot, Jesper!
Here’s another way to do it with just one flow and 2 music frames on each page.

Great! How did you achieve that split page?
In Engrave mode, create a custom page template based on none.
Double click it. Select the Insert music frame and draw 2 frames into the page.
Make sure they both use the MA frame chain. Copy Page Layout to the right page. Apply and close. Insert a Page template change.
