Hi.
If I change certain characteristics in Full Score (Engrave Mode), such as changing the visibility of tuplets, then I get a partial change in parts (the first page of the part score ignores the settings, however the second page doesn’t). Is this expected behavior?
Also, if I add a graphic element in the Full Score, it is absent from all the parts. Is this also expected? If so, how can I reflect that change in the parts?
Thanks

Hi,
Most of the properties can be changed either Locally (only in the current layout — score or part), or Globally (everywhere).
You choose the scope in the properties panel:
You can also use Edit>Propagate Properties to transfer them from a layout to another if they have been changed Locally.
Could you describe this point more precisely?
If you’re adding a graphics frame directly to a page in the score, that sort of thing is layout-specific. If you’re adding a frame in the template for the score, score and part layouts use different page template sets, so that also won’t get the graphic into the parts.
Depending on what you’re trying to achieve, it might work to add the graphic as a custom playing technique, attached to a note. That will show up in all layouts.
Many thanks!

There is a thing where Dorico doesn’t gracefully handle polymeters. As far as I can tell, the following technique is still the recommended workaround
Masking meters and creating polymeters
I thought I would be “clever” and skip the last step of creating pickup bars and simply insert a character for the time change (underneath it is all in hidden tuplets so either way is simply there to get a time signature in the right place). All is good with this approach except that the graphic in the full score is not reflected in the parts.
In my case this isn’t a deal breaker–I am after the audio and the Full Score–however I find it interesting to note the problem.
Thank you for your help!

In that case, the simplest solution is to use MusGlyph to create your fake time signature.
If you add a real (but hidden) time signature at the same spot, you can adjust its spacing offset, and if your properties are set to Globally , the changes will apply to both the score and the part at the same time (which wouldn’t be the case with Note Spacing). Same for the position of the text:
The shortcut I’m using at the beginning is a custom one that creates a staff text with MusGlyphs font.
(But if you do so, you’ll have to adjust a bit the spacing for the parts where the fake Time Signature doesn’t appear — so you might prefer to skip the spacing offset step, and do it manually in the parts, depending on how many staves are involved.)
I would say that on the whole, the pickup bar is less work.
Totally agree!
