Footer on every page?

I’ve had a look in the Dorico manual etc… but not managed to figure out how to get my copyright info to appear on every page.

Is it possible?

You need to edit the master pages in Engrave mode. The First master page applies to the first page, and the Default master page applies to the remaining pages. Double click on the master page to edit it.

Sure. Edit the Default Master Page (right panel of Engrave mode), add a text frame at the bottom of the left and right variants of the master page containing the {@projectTitle@} or {@flowTitle@} token, then Apply and Close.

Further info/suggestions: If you are typing the token {@flowCopyright@}, make sure in Project Info you add your date in the Flow area, if you use {@projectCopyright@}, put the info in the Project area. Also if you want a “©” to appear, you can type option-g (for a Mac - not sure on Windows).

Thanks.
I’ll look at the default page in the manual. I’ve got it open but don’t know how to edit it! I’ll just give it a read.
Tried copyng and pasting from but First page … that’s not it! I’ll get there…

richford,

To edit, just double-click the page as Dan mentions. Just for clarity sake, the image “First” shows that a footer token automatically exists at the bottom of this first Master Page. It currently uses the token {@projectCopyright@}. The image marked “Default” shows that there is no footer (by default). In order to appear on all pages (and not just the first one), you will need to add a copyright token to this “Default” master page.


Just adding:
In windows:
“©” by pressing and typing 0169 while pressing , symbol appears when you release

Would love to know how to do this on the Ipad version.
Cheers

This is from the user manual:

All pages in your scores and parts inherit their layout formats from master pages. However, in Dorico for iPad, you cannot edit master pages or create new ones; this is only available in Dorico Pro.

This may be an old version but I think it still applies now.

Something important went missing from your reply, kind sir. :sweat_smile:
He was trying to say that the keystroke is Alt-0169 for the © symbol. Hold the Alt key down, type 0169, then release the Alt key. The © symbol will appear.

Hope this helps!

It probably read correctly originally (4 years ago), but we had a change in forum platform shortly after then.

This is just not my day today, is it? I didn’t even see the “4 years” marker. Mea culpa. I’m going to go chastise myself at once and then stop responding to these things until I’ve had a proper amount of sleep. Sorry.

Not for the first time, I am (by some years) well behind the curve… Would someone kindly confirm my belief that this is not possible in Elements. Thanks in advance.

Hi Gary – Do you mean having a footer on every page? Yes, editing page templates is still a Pro-only feature. You could have a friend with Pro edit it for you.

Hey Mark.
Yeah, that’s what I’m after.
If your suggestion was a cunningly disguised generous offer; thank you.
I’ve actually just noticed Dorico Pro is currently on sale, so I’m going to live on bread and water for a month, and snap it up :slight_smile:
Thanks again :nerd_face:

There are many of us here who’d be happy to do it if you still need. I’m going to be away from my Dorico computer today, but if no one else steps up I could do it tomorrow!

Thanks man, that’s very kind.
I’ve now bought Pro, so I’m just going to have a look at editing the master pages…

This is old, but useful:

New terms = Page Templates and Page Template Sets

Great, thanks Daniel :nerd_face:

A follow-up question about footers in Dorico.
Will it be - with the Pro version - possible to add an image into the footer? Would like to stamp my logo on it.
Thanks!
