Master Page, Default page, Headers, "run on" pages

Hello, I am in the Set Up phase for a new project of my own and I am having some difficulties with descriptions. Firstly, I can’t locate on my Dorico 6 Pro (Mac) where do I find “Master Page”? When I do a search on the Help field I get “No results found”. Could it be the name has been changed to Default Page? My requirements for score pages are as follows:

Project info: The booklet title of the set of arrangements (no issue here)

Flow number and title: I want these to appear as a header on all subsequent pages of the score after page 1 of each flow. All subsequent flow numbers and titles need to change accordingly. (In the US we call these “run on” pages).

For all parts, I will need the above plus part (or player) names

The project will have about 30 Flows.

I have designed a proper page one for all flows but the Pages editor shows all of these as overrides, not as a template for Master Pages.

When I make changes to the Default pages of full score, nothing happens. I look for a button that says “Apply” or similar but all I get is Close, which saves nothing.

I am not deep into this project as of yet so it is a good time to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

What used to be called “Master Pages” are now called Page Templates, and one can access them via the right-hand column of Engrave mode.

What you describe as “run-on pages” are Default (as opposed to First) pages in Page Templates.

Inner justification (in the text format box) is a custom Paragraph Style for a field the entire width of the page (like the Page field) to position the layout name on the inside margin opposite the page number.

Score Page Templates and Part Page Templates must be set up separately, and neither will apply to pages with prior overrides.

Thank you, Derek. I suspected it was a change in the nomenclature

I will give your suggestions a go tomorrow.
