Instrument name on parts after first page

Dorico

I can’t find out how to do this. How can the instrument name appear on every page of the part AFTER page one? Preferably small and in the upper left or right not colliding with the page number.

Thanks

I think the default part layout page templates do include the part name on subsequent pages, in the center of the page header. If you want it to be on the left or right, then you should edit the Default template in the Default Part template set so that the text frame with the {@layoutName@} token is positioned where you want it.

Thanks for the response. Yes I saw that token in the center of each page, but I preferred that to be the name of the piece in the center. I guess then I need a new token with {@layoutName@} where I want it. But how do I add this new token to the Default Part Template?

You can add a new token to any text frame just by double-clicking into the frame and either (a) typing directly or (b) right-clicking and choosing the token you want from the context menu.

If you need to add a new frame to hold your token, instead of putting the token into an existing frame, you can do that with the Frames tool.

Thanks for this Aaron. I had already decided to simply put a dash after the project title and then insert the layout token, so I’m happy with this. But I’ll try inserting a frame next time. This is my first big project on Dorico, so it was already enough to get this far!
