I’m notesetting an organ piece and I’m not sure what is creating my problem. When I go to “print”, the first page shows the piece as I want it to look (with the organ registrations). The second page is the same music, but without the registrations and with the “Flow 1” title. How do I get rid of the duplicate “Flow 1” page?
Thanks!
Did you create your own music frame boxes, either in the page template, or on the page directly?
We’re really going to need to see the document, to see what’s going on.
I can confirm this if you post the Dorico file, but I think the one with the flow title is a part layout rather than the full score. The full score and parts do not share engraving changes, only changes in the actual music.
The second picture shows clearly that there’s only one layout in the project. I’m also suspecting manually-created frames with the wrong frame chain but indeed, let’s see the file first.
Here’s the file. I haven’t yet finished all the notesetting (still have the pedal to do), but I wanted to figure out what I’m doing wrong before I finish it. Thanks for your help!!

Indeed, the first page is on another frame chain. Go to Engrave mode, and then to the Edit Frames tool. Then click the LA flag in the top left corner of the music frame, select MA and click outside the popup to confirm.
For more detailed info: Frame chains You inadvertently created an independent Layout frame chain by editing the first page directly.
I think that you must have gone to Engrave mode, deleted the old music frame, and then created a new one on the page.
In general, it’s a better idea to adjust the existing frame on the page – and better still is to edit the Page Template, rather than the page, so that you can use the same design in other documents more easily.
Also, there are other ways of getting that text in that position that don’t involve overriding the page template, which is a very manual override that may cause you problems later. The trouble with text frames is that they aren’t attached to the music staves so if the music moves, they will stay put.
My suggestion would be to put it in the {@flowotherinfo@} field, then make that token (part of) the Flow Heading. That way you could make a whole book of organ music where every piece shows the registration in the exact same style and location. Or you could then import the page template set into a new project.
Thank you! I’m still trying to get used to Dorico after many years with Finale…there are a lot of things I like, but some issues I’m still trying to figure out. So I appreciate everyone’s willingness to help.
