Hi, just testing Dorico. How can I place the bar lines at the left of the staffs?
Another question there’s a possibility to put the key inside the bar lines?
And finally how do I get rid of a blank page at the end of the score!?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Add barlines before the first barline by selecting the first beat, pressing shift + b and typing 1.
Does “key” mean key signature? shift + k and c for C minor.
I have no idea about that blank page situation, you probably have a system break “salto de sistema” affecting it.
Blank page? delete page overrides, does this work?
The two parallel thick lines at the left are the percussion clef, not a key signature. Typically they go before (left of) the opening repeat barline (measure/bar 10), so it is showing as correct as it is.
Notation options > barlines>Systemic Barline>barline at start of first system and barline at start of systems following first system
Thanks! I’ll try it today.
Yes, sorry I meant the Clef.
Well, I guess is accepted both ways, that’s how I was teachen and how I’m used to do it with Finale, so I found weird to have the clef outside the bars.
Thanks.
Great I’ll try it later. Thanks
Thanks Maarten. That worked, but how can I make the carlines to behave like the precedent one?
I mean, if I closed a double line bar, next one should be double too. I can’t find how to do it. Sorry for this questions, I’m finding it too much different than Finale and I’m goin’ bit crazy
I have never seen a double bar line at the start of a stave… but that’s probably on me…
I’ve seen it in most of the scores I use. And if Finale gave us the option I guess it should be common enough.

Don’t apologize, asking there is this forum for.
I don’t know how to do this. Maybe manually the way @Sergei_Mozart describes.
This setting to have barlines at the beginning of the system was later implemented in Dorico because mainly Lead Sheet makers asked for it. In combination with leaving out the clef and key. In general it is considered as not so correct notation I think. So the double barline at the beginning is also not common, but I personally don’t have the knowledge to furthermore comment on that. @dspreadbury So if it is not possible there is maybe reason for feature request.
@YourMusic.Pro you see the double barline at the beginning of a system in the real books of Sher Music.
Well, I stand corrected. And since lovely Petaluma was modeled after those books, maybe an option like this for the future would indeed fit the style!

Currently Dorico has no way to show a double barline at the start of a system.
