There are comprehensive text wrapping options in Affinity. It does way more than I can ever use. The only issue I ever run into is the need to embed PDFs, rather than SVG’s, since dorico doesn’t embed the font data or outline the svgs, so they will render incorrectly. But normal PDFs pass through perfectly.

Thanks, Romanos. I was pretty sure that Affinity could do the text wrapping at least as well as InDesign. However, I am trying my best to avoid complication and to stay entirely within Dorico for the music pages. I do all the rest in Affinity.
Mats_Frendahl, the second 2) should be a 3). I corrected it in the second example. I see that the other examples above also corrected it!
In the original example in this topic, the second line appears to be followed by a blank line. Replace the line break at the end of the second line with a space and a row of X’s long enough to place the X’s on the third line and force the second line to become justified. Then select the X’s and set their foreground color to white:

More generally, consider the text wrapping around a music example as @StevenJones01 did in the fifth post of this topic. To justify the shortened lines to the left of the example, append the same number of X’s to the last word in each shortened line. Then select each row of X’s and set their foreground color to transparent:
Edit: Changed the foreground color of the X’s from white to transparent.

Another brilliant workaround from johnprice. It even surmounts the issue of the change of formatting in the edit window.
Thank you so much. One would think that this technique will work in most if not all of the cases in which this issue arises.
If Dorico can get more DAW features it can also get more DTP features, which I would appreciate quite a lot more.
