Preset of brackets for all flows of a score

Dorico
1

Dear friends,

unfortunately the brackets of all flows of an opera score are not consistent (some brackets are disapeare etc.), so that I have to correct it page by page (this may be a souce of many layout mistakes).
Is there a function to preset the brackets for all flows? Thanks!

Once you start introducing manual bracket/brace overrides, subsequent systems will be affected.

Depending on why you’ve overridden the brackets/braces, it could be that there is an alternative way of achieving your desired result without using overrides, which allows Dorico to be more flexible with adapting which staves are bracketed/braced on subsequent systems.

Perhaps could you share your project, or at least some more about the context?

As Lillie suggests, a peek into your project will
help.

  1. Check the Layout Options for your Full Score, there is a section Brackets and Braces.
  2. You can make a pre-selection there and then use the “Make into Group” function to group certain singers or instruments in Setup Mode. This will also define the overall bracketing.
  3. Last step, as you are already doing: do manual overrides at the beginning of flows or sections. You don’t necessarily need to do this on every page (Lillie’s reply).

Thank you Lillie, I resetted the brackets/ braces preferences in the layout options for the main score.
