Flow Management

Dear colleagues, can you help me solve this problem. I create a flow of two pages, a page dedicated to texts and images and a page dedicated to music. Obviously the two pages have their own differentiated Pages master setting. Now I create another flow and I want to focus only on this second, I just have to exclude the first one. However, the page dedicated to text and graphics is always visible next to the second stream. How can I get only the affected pages from the second stream? Thank you and have a nice day everyone

Pasquale,
in Setup Mode you can create a new Layout. You can then link your new layout to the second flow only.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. So if I got it right for each stream I have to create its relative layout. Right?

You don’t have to.
You can have a “What I’m currently working on” layout where you can assign (and later change this assignment) only those flows you are currently working on.

(BTW: What you call “stream”, Dorico calls “flow”. What you call “flow” Dorico calls a “layout”. Be sure not to mix things up :wink: )

Thank you all for your support. I think I have expanded my wealth of knowledge. But also of doubts. Why did you choose not to be able to create streams of text and images only? Why can I graphically move flow and not pages in the layout?

Pasquale,
Realize that the folks you have been corresponding with so far are only users and not the developers of the software. They (we) may sometimes have the same questions you do.

Pasquale, there is a function in Engrave Mode where you can swap pages within a layout.

And arrows that allow you to move pages within your Layout. Again, this is a quite complex area. Being specific in the question and providing a file to play with is the key to get an accurate answer to your problem. Folks here are really willing to help, take advantage of it!

Thanking everyone again, I apologize but probably the translator is not the best to pass the correct thoughts. I know that I do not address the technicians but the people who use the final product like me and actually from how it is translated it seems that I take it mad at the users. That said, being a user of notational software for almost forty years (with the exception of cubase, I have practically used them all), I noticed that there are small things, that small then are not so much, that they are missing. I understand that the effort to achieve them depends solely on how many people request it, but every now and then be patient for the outburst.
