Allowing multiple flows on single pages

In part layouts, new flows start on a new page by default, even if the previous flow does not fill its last page. You can allow new flows to be shown on the same page as previous flows if there is space, for example, to reduce the number of pages requires for parts in works with multiple movements.

Procedure

  1. In Setup mode, choose Setup > Layout Options.

    The Layout Options dialog opens.

  2. In the Layouts list, select the layouts in which you want to allow multiple flows to be shown on each page in one of the following ways:
    • Click Select All.

    • Click Select All Full Score Layouts.

    • Click Select All Part Layouts.

    • Click Select All Custom Score Layouts.

    • Ctrl/Cmd-click individual layouts.

    • Shift-click adjacent layouts.

    By default, the layout currently open in the music area is selected when you open the dialog.

  3. Select Page Setup from the Category menu.
  4. In the Flows section, choose Allow on existing page for New flows.
  5. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

Flows in the selected layouts continue immediately after each other, including within the same music frame if there is sufficient space.

Note

Music frames are not automatically split to divide flows into separate music frames. You must insert frame breaks manually to divide flows into separate music frames. You must also manually insert text frames with tokens for the title of each flow, such as {@flow2title@}.
