Printing pngs with text boxes only

I make png slides of hymns for screens that include music. I am attaching a file that is acting oddly. Here is what is happening:

  • Two slides have only text boxes - they are sung by the choir only, so I do not require music - only want the words.
  • I print the file to png by flow. Each flow is a stanza.
  • The file title with tokens is: $f - $w - $p of 2 - which displays:
    • the title of the file,
    • the stanza number (which is the flow),
    • the slide number (of the whole file) and
    • the number of slides in each stanza.
    • In this case “Alleluia! Jesus Is Risen! - St. 1 - 001 of 2.png”
  • For this to work, I have to export each Flow individually; otherwise the flow title includes all flows.
  • In this file, the two slides (pages 5 and 7) without music do not show up when only the flow is selected (flows 3 and 4), and they do not export when only the flow is selected.
  • If I export the pages individually, they export correctly, but they are named with Flow 1’s name.

This seems strange. Did I do something incorrectly to set up the files in such a way that those two slides are attached to the incorrect flow?

Alleluia! Jesus Is Risen!.dorico (1.6 MB)

I think Dorico doesn’t consider that pages 5 and 7 belong to any flow. The music for flow 3 is all on page 4 and the music for flow 4 is all on page 6; pages 5 and 7 sit between flows and therefore don’t get exported with any flows.
