New flow title template?

When adding another flow and writing the flow title on the first page, do you create a new template?
Or do you add a text frame to the score and enter the title there?

I entered the title in a text frame on the score without using a template, and now its position is shifting due to edits in the preceding flow. How can I anchor the title frame to the first page of Flow 2 so that it is not affected by edits in the previous flow?

Is it better to use a regular text frame (as shown in the marked area) instead of a master page template to display ‘Flow 2’?

You don’t have to make an New template.

You have project title and flow titles. If you want the flow title visible you do that in the lay-out options. You can change the flow Title in project info Ctrl I or Mac Cmd I.

Maybe this is helpfull

Sorry, I don’t know if I understand your question. Please make an reply and don’t edit your original question, so it is more easy to understand your additional question.

I think it is not an good idea to add an text frame. I only see default titles so what you want is not clear to me. If you want to start the new flow right after the previous flow on the same page you can make that setting in lay-out options. If you want that the new flow starts on a new page with also the project title (first page layout) you also can make that setting in lay-out options.

How do I set up the different flow in the part layout within the full score using the layout options?

Could you please give an example of what you want to achieve?

Maybe it’s language / translation problem, but I don’t understand your last message.

@k.k sorry I also don’t understand the question. We really want to help. To be honest my wild guess is that you come from Finale and are trying to do something in a non Dorico way. Maybe an idea to share the file you are working on and try again to explain what you want.

  1. The flow title in the blue highlighted area is set to “hide.” How can I fix this?

  2. I need to place the orange text below the title, and it should move together with Flow 2. However, when I insert a regular text frame, it stays fixed on the page and doesn’t move with the flow. How can I resolve this

Can you post the dorico file here. It is difficult to see what is going wrong.
