I seem to have made a royal mess of the first music page of my opera score - it’s an opera in five flows. My problem is that I would like the name of the opera to appear as the heading, followed by the name of the first flow (or first scene). Thus: on top: Viper Sun (the opera’s title), then 1. Doctor Faustus’ house (the first flow). I have tried typing in the formulas for project title and flow title, but to no avail - and I’ve entered all the relevant info in the project info dialogue. I must have done something screwy with the template at some point. The other flows are all displaying satisfactorily - it’s just that I really want the name of the opera on the first page, as well as the name of the first flow.
With these settings in Layout Options > Flows
both the title and the flow title (as flow heading) are supposed to be displayed.
However if there is a title page which makes the first (music) page page 2 you have to assign the First page template to page 2 as Page Template Change in the right zone in Engrave Mode
I have done all that… and I’m now only seeing the title, not the first flow. The other flows are displaying correctly.
Can you upload a cut-down project that somebody can take a look?
Adding to what @Derrek wrote, you can check this in Engrave Mode in the right-side panel.

Yes - the first four pages have no music: title, instrument list, dedication. But I defined page 5, the first page with myusic, as ‘first page.’
Enclosing amputated score. My first music page, by the way, has the red triangle but also the green upper border, signifying ‘first page’

The green border doesn’t signify “First Page”; it just signifies a page template change of some kind.
I’m not sure exactly what you’re going for, but try right clicking just on page 5 and choosing “Remove Page Template Change”, and then right clicking again and choosing “Remove Page Overrides”. Now that page will properly display using the First page template.
It worked - many thanks! Deeply appreciated!
