I can’t get Dorico to show myself as the arranger of this piece… Help please?
Another one: I want the first movement to be mentioned as 2. Larghetto (because I skip the real first movement). And the 2nd as 3. Allegretto. But it doesn’t want it…
Make sure you add a {@projectArranger@} token somewhere in your First page template.
The default Flow Heading template has the tokens {@flowNumber@}. {@flowTitle@}. Edit the template so that it just has {@flowTitle@}, and then it will display your flow title exactly as you have entered it. Edit: You’ll also need to uncheck this option, at the bottom of the Project page in Project Info.

Edit the First page template (not the page itself) and insert the
{@projectarranger@}token wherever you want it by double clicking the text frame and choosing Project Info > Arranger from the context menu, copy it to the corresponding left or right page, apply and close. -
If you want a custom numbering of the movements you have to edit the Default Flow Heading (below the Page Templates) and delete the flow number token.

In order to display “2. Larghetto”, you’ll need either to enter a backslash after the “2”
Or to untick this option:

Thank you peeps. This has worked, although I find it very sophisticated, and not something that I could find out without you. In the Project Info there is a field for arranger, so why doesn’t that work?
Now, still, the parts don’t have what I want… If anyone has a solution?
The Project Info dialog lets you put in all kinds of information, but you have to have the corresponding token in your page template in order to display that information. Otherwise, how would Dorico know where you want it, or how you want it formatted?
The score and the parts use different page template sets. In Engrave mode, use the dropdown at the top to choose a part layout, and then edit that First template. (You only need to do this once, because all the parts will pick up the change from that template.)
I changed the first part, but the following 4 don’t change along with it. I feel so stupid… sorry.
Again, modify the page template rather than the page itself (and remove the page override – the red triangle – if there is one from the context menu).

I clearly don’t understand… Where do i find that?
I found the page override
Look at your screenshot. On the right side there is a section Page Templates, there is the popup menu to choose the full score or part template
Yes, found it! thanks
My goodness, Dorico seems so anti-intuitive compared to Finale. I guess it will take me some time to understand why it is the way it is. Thank you people for your patience!
Please do not confuse unintuitive with unfamiliar.

If you’re switching to Dorico from another notation program, it will take a little time and effort to unlearn old habits and get to know Dorico’s paradigms.

@raaf It’s not a big deal, but this is the second time that you have marked your own post in a thread as a solution. This means that other users looking at the thread will see this at the top:
It would be helpful to others looking for information if you would instead mark as the solution one of the posts that provided you with useful information regarding your question.

This is definitely not the solution! Put the tick where it belongs
[Edit] Ninja’d 17h earlier by @asherber. I guess those things do matter.
