Deleting frames

You can delete frames from both individual pages and master pages. Deleting music frames can change where music appears, depending on their master page frame chain and frame order.

Prerequisite

  • Frames is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • If you want to delete frames from a master page, you have opened the master page in the master page editor.

Procedure

  1. In the music area, select the frames you want to delete.
  2. Press Backspace or Delete.

Result

The selected frames are deleted. When you delete music frames, the order of other music frames in the same music frame chain updates automatically. For example, if you have three music frames in the same music frame chain and delete the second frame, the third frame becomes the second frame in the music frame chain and the music it displays updates accordingly.

Note

  • If you delete master page music frames on individual pages, Dorico Pro automatically adds extra pages as required to display the flows assigned to the master page frame chain. If you want to delete frames because you do not want to show certain flows, you can instead remove those flows from the layout or the master page frame chain.

  • If you delete all music frames from a First master page, any pages that previously automatically used the First master page now use the Default master page in their current master page set. If you also delete all music frames from the Default master page, no music or pages are displayed.
