OK, I think I got it. A very humbling experience IMHO. Thank you all for your patience with me!

Something I worked on a while back.
I kept the title pages separate from the score and swapped them to the front in a PDF program to prevent any formatting changes from affecting the subsequent music.

I won’t lie to you. As much as I love Dorico, I really think this part of the program would really benefit from more helpful tools — selecting overlapping frames can be tedious, copying frames could help, and turning an overridden page into a template instead of having to redo it properly would certainly feel more easy from the users point of view!
[Edit] Another flaw (and the Team knows about it) is the inability to have the text flow between text frames as it does with music frames (the music chains allow that, and as of yet, there are not text chains, as you can have in Publisher or InDesign).

Certainly the ability to assign the various frames a z-index to bring some frames permanently to the front would be a helpful start without expecting Dorico to mimic a fully fledged graphic art program.
