I’m currently creating a score in Dorico (Pro 6) for the first time, for a work I composed in Cubase and exported. I’ve spent many hours trying to get the cover of my score right, but I’m encountering numerous obstacles that I can’t seem to overcome, although I think I’ve already solved a few issue…

[image] DirkMM: I created an extra “Cover” template in Engrave to avoid that ‘inevitable’ “Tacet” indication. These two things don’t relate. A “Tacet” is displayed, when you link a flow to a layout of a player who does not play in that movement (if you omit that flow from the layout instead,…

Thanks for your answer, k_b. But I have the impression that things are a bit different. At first I selected the “First” layout for the cover.

Thank you so much, Stephen! I’m gonna look into it, for sure. But first I need to finish/refine asap all the pages with staves for all 31 player scores and the full score for the conductor…

That looks fine, still I would like to see the same layout in Engrave Mode. There might be manual overrides in the right panel. Also you probably want to display the flow header for the player of the Euphonium: that’s a setting in Layout Options. I see, it is there, but I suspect, you did some manu…
