Playing back one flow of a multi-flow piece (e.g., an opera)

Dorico

I am in need of playing back the latest flow of an opera, but when I try to playback just that flow, it goes back to the beginning of the Overture, and won’t let me start at the flow I want to hear.

I figure there must be a way to do this, but I didn’t find it in the online manual.

Any suggestions?

Thanks an awful lot to whoever knows!!!

So, if you select the first note of any instrument in the flow that you want to hear in Write mode and then press P you should be able to start at that flow. You can also make sure that flow is the one active in Write mode, change to Play mode and double click the beginning of the flow where the numbered measures are at the top of the window.

Thanks, Kent. I had tried the first suggestion and had no luck after about 5 tries. That is the way I do it within the same flow. But I just tried it again but this time it worked. Have no idea why it didn’t work the previous 5 tries. Anyway, thanks for your time. I REALLY appreciate it!!!

You are welcome. I didn’t really do much but if it helped, then good. Peace.
