I miss having that in previous Brand X. I used to include it in footers. It’s handy when you have a zillion little teeny projects
Did you know that you can add the filename and the date when printing or exporting graphics via options in the Annotations section of the right-hand panel in Print mode?
However, it’s certainly not a bad idea to also allow them as tokens, so I’ve added this to our backlog for future implementation.
Thank you, Daniel. I just got back to this. I guess it pays to explore without a known purpose. It also explains an odd Dorico behavior, I thought. No matter what font size I set for the time, it always came back to its favorite size. I’m guessing that there is a routine that gets called when {@date@} is encountered, and that routine uses its favorite font size no matter what I tell it. I kept setting the font size to my preference, and I thought I saw Dorico overruling me. I was foggy in the head by that time. It went on like that for a couple of days before I threw in the towel. When all else fails, read the instructions.
You certainly should be able to have tokens realised using any size of text you like: just make sure that the whole token, including the enclosing {@ and @} characters, is set to the same font and size, and it should work fine.
Something that I would welcome at this state of my understanding would be selection of font sizes from a simple numerical display without references to the names of the parameters on the list. If I wanted to set the font to a customary default value for a given parameter, perhaps the word “default” could available in one place to click for that that purpose. Everybody’s a software designer.
Hello Daniel,
I see that this request was made a long time ago. Was it ever implemented? We use the filename in a header on scores and parts to make sure we’re using the latest version, so it would be great to have this.
Thanks,
Sebastian
But not all are accessible via the right-click context menu (including {@projectfilename@})
