So, my Mac version does NOT save panels as I had them when saving and closing any project. I must each and every time adjust to my liking. So, am I missing something to make this happen? Please advise.
Ah, after double-checking with my colleagues, it turns out it is only the panels that are remembered between sessions (ie which panels are shown), not the sections within them. Apologies for the mistake!
Got it. Can you share with the developers that we would like everything on screen to look exactly the way it was when we saved the project? It would give Dorico more of a refined way of doing things… 
They’re aware, but as usual, there’s no guarantee when or if this might change in a future version of Dorico – just to set expectations appropriately.
