In the Parts of an Opera score where each Flow corresponds to a new Scene, is there a way to automatically show the Time Signature of the following Flow? In this Opera, the Flows are all “attacca”, so I need to see the new Time Signature at the end of the last system of each Flow leading to the next. Any way to automatically show these?
Thanks
I don’t think there’s another way than the one Leo described in a thread a while ago. As far as I remember, it involves adding a bar, changing the rest size to 1%, and there was another hack (if you have condensed staves, because then the 1% scaling is not working). Search the forum, you should find it 
The complete opposite case to the one where the user doesn’t want a cautionary time signature at the end of a section that is not the end of a flow! Yes, the connection between “flows” and cautionary signatures definitely needs some revision, as mentioned by Daniel in another thread.
I think that’s where the coda trick is helpful, John. But yes, we all agree there’s still some work to do in that area…
It’s interesting that while Finale has no trouble with such cautionary situations, a coda trick is necessary for situations in which a system must end in the middle of a line and another start immediately after it on that line. I assume that Dorico has no trouble starting a new flow in the middle of a line such as the following, where each variation would need to be a separate flow:
This would require some Master Page trickery. If it started on a new system, then it’s pretty automatic.
Thanks Craig. Are you saying that it requires a work-around but is possible with flows?
And if not, can you start a Coda like that in the middle of a line?
It’s possible with flows but not without master page hackery.
It’s a piece of cake with a coda though.
So in this case, one could have a separate flow for the theme and each variation except where the situation above arises, and there one would make, say, Var. 2 a coda to Var. 1?
One certainly could.
Thank you, pianoleo.
