Engrave Mode Gap Measurements

Dorico
1

I’ve set up a Project with the Layout Options / Page Margins set to 0 and the margins themselves defined under Page Templates. This enables me to set a different background colour, right to the edge for the Page, for Lyric pages. I can then factor in the Page Margins to the remaining Page Templates.

However, I’ve found a problem with this approach - the Engrave Mode Gap Measurements are no longer editable. Clicking on them switches the view back to Write Mode. The handles at the edges of Objects are editable (which in turn updates the measurements) - but not the measurements themselves.

Indeed, we don’t really anticipate users setting zero page margins, so this is a consequence of that. Sorry for the inconvenience, but there’s nothing you can do to move those measurements.

I ran into this same problem today. I have zero page margins because I export Dorico graphics to PDF and then import them into frames of a particular size in InDesign. I.e., the margins are set in InDesign. In Dorico I want every layout to use as much space as possible.
