Having Different Layout Options For Each Flow

Dorico
1

Is it possible to give each Flow different Layout Options with Dorico Elements 6? In other words, I want Flow 3 to have different bar spacing than Flows 1 & 2. Or do I have to manually adjust the bars in Flow 3?

Yes, but you will need Dorico Pro to change Note Spacing locally.
In Dorico Elements you can change Note Spacing for the whole Layout, in Dorico Pro you can change Note Spacing literally at every note in your layout.

Hi @jk3horn, I think what @k_b is referring to are Note Spacing Changes, which are more consistent than the Note Spacing tool in Engrave mode.

Thank you for the suggestions. I manually made the adjustments locally for the 3rd flow.

It may be possible to set LAyout Options that suit both flows, if we know exactly what the music is and what the layout issues are.

For clarification, because your initial thread wasn’t clear:
What do you mean by bar spacing?

You can define and change Note Spacing (which will lead to a different bar spacing), or you can
define and change System Spacing, which is the horizontal spacing between systems.
