Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on this opera score and preparing parts (screenshot below). I have some page templates created - either defaults (that just show music), or for the first page of flows (that show either the flow heading, or a set of performance instructions).
Is there a way to get Dorico to recognise the beginning of each flow and assign the correct page template accordingly? Currently every page of the parts is displaying as the default layout, and so the large flow heading template is not being applied at the start of each new flow. It would be ideal if I could avoid having to manually assign flow titles to every page of all the orchestral parts!
Make sure that the music frame on both the First and Default page templates is set to use the same frame chain. By default, this is “MA”, and you can see it in the selectors at the top left of the music frames.
If the two templates use different frame chains, they can’t both be automatically used by Dorico, and Dorico will opt for using the Default page template.
On a side note, the page number text frame on your right page is not aligned to the margin. You can correct that by editing the Default page template.
