Okay, just wanted to start over here. I made some definite progress, fixed up my Full Score the way I want it, created a nice new Layout. Had some issues creating new projects with the saved Project template (text frames not where I had left them, etc), but more or less got what I wanted. Sort of.
The genesis flow only had ONE empty bar. I know I saw some dialog somewhere that let me create a new flow with a predefined number of bars, but, honestly, there are so many dialogs and procedures, I can’t find my way back to. I added some bars (I hate that empty bar look; it’s like begging me to have writers’s block ). Then for grins, I created another flow.
- It did not look like I expected. I had expected (well, wanted… I really didn’t know what to expect) a repeat of the very first page, with flow title nice and large, composer, lyricist, copyright, etc.
- And of course, no bars.
I’ve attached a picture, and the project file.
Is there a tutorial somewhere that walks you through layouts, page templates and page template sets step by step? Coming to this forum with such elementary questions is embarrassing and likely feels like a drag for experienced users.
While I am here, I would like to report what appears to me to be a certain “fragility” in the app. On many occasions in my brief time with Dorico, it will just freeze up. Sometimes I’m merely going to a click a menu item; that is, not necessarily trying anything like heavy lifting. My mouse cursor just starts spinning, and no response. I shut it down, and inevitably when I try to run it again, the first time it runs, it cannot connect to the audio engine. I’m just using HP’s Realtek onboard sound (so far). I’ve used an external USB SB in the past, but decided with Dorico to keep everything as simple as possible.
I was going to download the just announced upgrade, but noticed a wave of crash reports in this forum, so I think I’ll just wait and join the second wave on that.
Anyway, that’s my topic(s) du jour.
