LIst of Flow Titles (and numbers) on a title page

I’ve seen posts where engravers have listed all of their flow titles on a title page, but I’m not getting this to work. I’ve created a title page and have placed text frames with tokens for project title, dedication, composer, etc., but it doesn’t seem to work when I create a text frame and place tokens for flow numbers or titles:

{@flow1number@}. {@flow1title@}
{@flow2number@}. {@flow2title@}
{@flow3number@}. {@flow3title@}
{@flow…number@}. {@flow…title@}

Do I have to do this manually?

Tokens of flowNtitle, where N is a number, work for me. And flowNfirstpage for the page number.

(Are your flow numbers actually just sequential numbers…?)

Can you supply a document that doesn’t work?

Attached is my file.

You first need to remove the page override[1] on page 1 (red triangle in the right column of engrave Mode: right click and choose “remove page override”).
Then apply your Title Page template on page 1 and the First Template on page 2.

The tokens like {@flow1number@} don’t seem to work. I checked the manual and apparently they don’t exist. You can enter numbers instead:

Here is the file with these modifications:

  1. A page override appears when you make a manual change in the frames directly in the page and not in the template. Your manual change takes precedence over the template, and any change in the template won’t have any effect as long as you get this override. ↩︎
