Hello,
There are some aspects of engraving in Dorico that are quite simple for me, a high school student, to understand but others that aren’t as easy. Could someone look over this project? There are a few measures that take up an entire system, resulting in the page being 3 measures long. If I try to force the systems to include more measures, I get lots of collisions.
Thanks in advance,
Ian Hook

Did you play around with note spacing?
If you’re looking to produce a useful part for the organist to play from, one thing you might try is using landscape orientation rather than portrait:
It would also save room in the organist’s part if you set the trumpet staff to be small:
Either 75% or even 60% would be worth a try.
I tried this and it helped a lot, thank you!
I’ll definitely give these both a try, thank you for your help!
As an aside, mm29-35 could use an 8va in the right hand. That’s an unusually large number of ledger lines for piano.
I’d also question whether you need bar numbers on every bar, given that (even with the suggestions above), you’ll only have a small number of bars per system. Just having a number at the start of each system should suffice.
