Need help printing 8.5 x 11 pages using 11 x 17 paper (2 pages/page) to create booklet!

Hi all!
Up against a deadline and realize I don’t have access to 9x12 paper to print a piano/vocal classical score as I originally was thinking. However, I DO have good 11x17 paper (and a printer that can print it) so it occurs to me that perhaps I could create a mini music-booklet for the 8 total (currently 8.5x11-formatted) pages of score I have (including title page) by printing 2 pages (sideways) on each 11 x 17. Sorry if this has been covered, but how can I do this in Dorico? Thanks for any help!

Never mind - found it - use “Booklet” then set page setup to “Tabloid” - excellent.

Make sure you check your proofs. I made a very expensive mistake assuming that it did the correct thing, when in fact it did not.

Another way is using PDF-booklet: A free tool, from notation central.

It actually worked like a charm - can’t believe I never thought to create an 8.5x11 booklet out of tabloid paper before, using my large format printer (didn’t even need staples :-))…
