Export

I have a project with 14 Flows which I want to be a book of piano solos. The editing and formatting is finished (thanks to all your help!!) Can I export a single PDF of the entire project or do I need to export each PDF separately and combine them with other software? Thank you

You print/export a layout. A layout can contain all or any number of flows. I think the default Full score layout will include all the flows unless you’ve deselected any of them. Are you having any particular issues?

You cannot export a pdf. You print it.

If you Print a layout (as pdf) it will include all the flows that are contained in that layout.

(This is not difficult to check. Print it and see what the pdf contains)

I mean yeah I guess I printed it, not hardcopy, but I guess when I said “export” that’s because that’s the button i clicked in the section. And yes, the PDF has all the Flows. I guess my my question now is, do i use this Dorico PDF with all the songs with Affinity Publisher for a cover etc?

What have you tried?

It completely depends on what you want. You can make title pages, tables of contents and other front matter as Page Templates right within Dorico, they will print with any layout in which you include them. But Dorico is not a DTP app, so compared to something like Affinity its typographic capabilities are limited. If I need some complex front matter I will definitely make it in Affinity and merge the PDFs afterwards. But as it stands your question is quite impossible to answer.
