I am currently working on an arrangement of Schubert’s Winterreise (24 flows = 24 songs). Since yesterday I have a problem with the first two flow titles. I am always shown the titles of the project instead of the flow titles. From flow 3 this is ok. In addition, on page 1 (flow1.jpg) I only see the copyright and the work number as tokens, not as a text entry.
On page 2 (flow2.jpg) the copyright entry is ok, the other two are not. On page 3 (flow3.jpg) the flow title and the copyright are OK, the work number is not. All values are entered correctly in the project information What can I do?
I’m afraid we need the actual project (or a reduced version of it, provided it still exhibits your problem) to diagnose it. Screenshots only are a useful illustration, but mostly insufficient to analyse the issue.

Hi, to which mail adress should I send the file?
You can post it here: just drag it into the panel where you type your post. Or if you worry about copyright issues etc., send someone you trust with it a private message by clicking the blue Message button in the pop-up panel behind their username/avatar.
Go to Layout / Page Set-up / Flows / Show Flow Headings → for All Flows

Thank you, all items are switched on, but two of them are wrong.
Lothar,
either you have Page overrides, or
the Information isn’t present in the adequate fields of the Project Information Window.
@lothar sent me the project via PM, and I just had a look.
Fortunately, it turns out to be an easy fix. You did change the Flow Names (in the left column) to ‘Gute Nacht’ and ‘Die Wetterfahne’, but forgot to also change the Flow Title in the actual token field on the right, which is actually used on the layout itself. It’s a small mistake we all make at least once…
And while it may look confusing to have both of them, it can be useful sometimes.

Thank you very much, dear Peter. I really forgot this, but I am very new to Dorico (6 weeks / 30 years+ Finale).
But what is with the tokens?
This was a bit trickier, and even new to me.
The token for {@projectcopyright@} on the First page template has the paragraph style for Rehearsal Marks, with (apparently) manual changes to horizontal adjustment and reduced font size for the text between {@…@} only.
Although IMO it’s strange Dorico is no longer able to interpret the token if there are different styles inside it, you can resolve it by simply assigning the Copyright style to the (whole) text. On subsequent pages, where the Default template is active, there’s no Style discrepancy, and the copyright info already appears correctly.
A similar problem occurs in the {@projectworknumber@} token, both on the First and the Default page template. The style is Default Text (12pt in your setup), which you manually changed to 10pt for only the word ‘projectworknumber’, not the surrounding {@ @}. This again made the token invalid. When I applied the 10pt size to the whole token, it worked.
On a sidenote: I learned a very nice trick from your score too!
Inside your copyright notice you use the token {@dateyear@}. This means tokens can be nested 
. Maybe it’s common knowledge, but I didn’t know it yet. Cool feature!

Hi Peter
Thanks again for this quick and precise solution. I’m glad that I was also able to tell you a trick (nested token).
(Maybe mark one of @PjotrB 's helpful posts as the solution, instead of your own?)

Sorry, don’t know…
You marked your own post as the solution. If you click the green “Solution” label under that post, it will unselect it, and then you can click “Solution” on one of Pjotr’s posts. That indicates which post has the solution to your issue.
