Hello, It is with my gratitude that I offer the community a very professional marching band template for Dorico. This template works for Dorico v6 and onward. I did notice that another individual shared their own marching band template. I did look at theirs, but I found a lot of errors. Some fonts…

Then don’t switch to letter for individual parts. The individual part layouts are made for flip-folders.

If you read the read me file I explained all of that.

This was the link i mentioned in the other thread, but that post seems to be gone now. Strange, I had a look at it yesterday. Did you see it?
