Title and headers - one flow looks weird

Hi!

I’m new to the program, so maybe this is obvious (but I can’t find the solution).

The second flow in the piece I’m working on doesn’t get a proper header so I can’t write the title. First flow (and 3rd and 4th) looks ok. The screenshot is from the beginning of the second flow.

I’ve tried the different layout options (I think).

Should I move the green lines manually? (I can’t find out how though.)

I’m on Dorico 5 Elements.

Thanks!

Hi Mimaroben ! Welcome to the forum !

Provided you don’t have any overrides on this layout page, you might need to change something to the template: edit the template page (by double clicking its miniature in the right Engrave mode panel, below the Pages tool, in the Templates tool).
Click that green text frame and make it bigger (either with the handles or with its properties). Copy to R (or to L, I don’t know which page you’ve edited), Apply and close. It should be solved.

This appears to be a case where the (First Page) project-title format is being applied to the running header of a Default page.

I suspect that, if @Mimaroben were to configure the layout to use a First Page page template whenever a flow started on a new page, the situation would rectify itself.

Were Mimaroben to post the Dorico file of the project, the solution would likely be immediately evident.

You’re right, this does look like a Default template instead of a First Page template, which is weird.

I don’t think I can change the template (I’m on Elements). I can’t even find a right panel in the Engrave mode…

@Derrek If this is the setting you are talking about I have tried them all but they don’t make any change at all.

Could you share the file? We could set it right for you in seconds… What would be interesting is to understand what got you in that state.

Sure!

Thanks!

Here is the file:
Headlights.dorico (1.6 MB)

Page 1 and 6 were overridden. I think you can now remove overrides with Elements but it’s not really useful if you cannot change templates…

Not sure what you mean about that, but when I removed all overrides it looks good enough. Maybe not exactly how I want it to look, but on the other hand this is Elements.

Thanks!

Here’s the file with some minor changes.

I don’t know why the page headers were showing the project title instead of the flow title (with the projet title, I could not use the option to not show it when Flow headings were used, at the start of a flow)
BTW, sorry for the strange name of the file, it’s a bug that has already been discussed and will be solved :grimacing:

Thanks, but just removing all page overrides worked for me!
