while I’m barraging the community with questions just thought I’d ask this:
I just finished a concert in which I revise the parts as needed after rehearsals in the weeks leading up to the concert. As footers are currently not available, I painstakingly modified all of the part master pages for each of the songs to make the flowcopyright visible on all pages. I’m using copyright as a “revision date” token until something else becomes available. This was tedious work, does anyone have a better idea? I know - get the parts correct the first time - but other than that.
When you edit ‘all of the part master pages’ - do you perform the edit directly on the page containing music? If so, there’s a much simpler way.
Open the dropdown menu under ‘Current set’ in the right hand panel. Select ‘Default part’
Double click the ‘First’ or ‘default’ pages below. If you perform the edit here, this will be reflected in every part who that is assigned to these master pages.
You need to remove page overrides for this to take effect. A page override is indicated by a red corner in the ‘Pages’ section. To remove them, right click and select ‘Remove all page overrides’.
There are some useful videos on Dorico’s youtube channel on this topic.
I was able to modify the default master pages. But for a number of pieces of music, it was tedious work after all the arranging and proofreading. I’m sounding spoiled now. But adjusting the large frame, dropping in a small text frame, typing in {@flowcopyright@}, setting the font size and centering - for the 2nd page on the score master page, then doing this for the L and R pages of the part default master page + adding {@flowtitle@} to the top of the part masterpages L and R, for 10 scores, got tedious enough for me to wonder if there isn’t a simpler method. These were existing scores so I couldn’t set up a “template” project to import the master pages.
To avoid confusion, I like the subsequent pages to say for example " page 2, Clarinet - MY SONG", at the top and “revised 12/3/2017” on the bottem.
