Hello,
I recently moved from Sibelius to Dorico. I like Dorico’s approach to multi movement works more than Sibelius, so I decided to transfer some of my Sibelius scores to Dorico.
I followed the instructions for importing each score from an XML file as a flow. Everything went fine, and in Setup mode, I can see the four movements in the bottom window as four separate flows. In Write mode, however, I only see one flow, the flow selected in Setup mode. I can switch between each flow in Write mode by choosing the flow I want to edit in Setup mode.
First, I want to know if this is correct. I am a bit confused because you can also have flows in a score within a movement, which is what I learned working through some tutorials. For example, in Write mode I can add a flow to show the layout in Gallery mode or have a flow for each part. I can add these flows by using the + or add tab button in the Write window.
I was under the impression that each movement (the flows in Setup mode) would be one of those flows in the window in Write mode. It seems that there are two levels of flows, one in Setup mode for movements or separate pieces in a set and the flows in a piece used for parts and other things. To edit or add notation to one of the movements, I first have to choose it in Setup mode.
Is this correct? I am just making sure I understand the workflow in Dorico for multi-movement works.
Thanks in advance.
