Hi,
A question about flow titel
I`m writing a music book with exercises, and I draw the music frames to organise my pages. Is it possible that Dorico writes automatically the flow titel. Now I have to draw also text frames to write the flow title.
Thank’s for helping me and sorry about my english
Also, go to “project info.” You may need to study this a bit if you’re new to Dorico — there are different fields for the project and flows depending on which is selected. A flow title, when entered, will appear on the page (based on the options selected as @Robby_Poole noted), providing the correct page/flow templates are used.

If @patha is using multiple flows at all.

Hi,
Many thank‘s to you all for your replies.
My english is not so good. So maybe my question was not asked right.
I draw a lot of different music frames. Each music frame content an flow.
I knowthat I can enter flow titels manually. That work fine. ( text frame with the flow titel token )
My question is if it is possible that Dorico enter automaticly the flow titels like in the default dokument
Kind regards
Patrick
Could you share the file? You can pm me if you prefer.

It can be that you have page overrides, the red triangle in the picture below, in Engrave mode->right panel.
Then, even if you turn on Show Flow Headings for all Flows, the page won’t be updated. Right-click the page and Remove All Page overrides.
Are you wanting to have the flow title appear in a frame that you just created? If so, create the frame, double click the frame and then right click to get the following:
Click on Flow Info and then Title to enter the symbol for the title and it will show when you exit the frame. You can change the font, justification, etc., while still in the frame by selecting what Dorico puts in the frame. Exit the frame and you should have what you want.

Here’s what I would do, no overrides and the default page template. Don’t edit the pages directly.

Sequence 01_Affinity_edit.dorico (1.5 MB)
And these two settings under Library->Layout Options->Page Setup->Flows.
You can edit the Flow headings margins just below, also, and if you need, the Flow headings template in Engrave mode. You might want to remove the FlowNumber there.
And if you want to indent a flow, you can use a Coda with a hidden sign and adjust the gap in the properties panel. See Flow 3 in the file. I didn’t try to recreate your layout.
