How To Add A Title Page

I have a doc with multiple flows. How do I add a title page with just text and no music?

There are several similar questions here but they are from earlier versions of Dorico and the version 5 I have does not work the same way.

All versions of Dorico work the same in regards to adding a title page.

In Engrave mode, open the right-hand panel and find this section (in earlier versions of Dorico, it was called “Master Pages” I believe):

Click the Plus button at the bottom, set it as Custom, based on “None,” and double-click on the newly-created page to edit it.

Edit the new page template by drawing out a text box. Format your text. Then click the button at the top center to copy the design to both sides.

In your pages panel, right-click on the first page and Insert a Page Template change, and select the newly-created title page.

To add to what @dan_kreider said, if you do this and you had configured in Layout options to use First page template on the first flow only, this won’t be the case anymore. You’ll have to add a Page template change for that page only, and set it to the master page “first”.
