Master page types

You can add the following types of master pages:

First

A page pair that is usually used for the first page of music in a layout. By default, First master pages contain tokens to display the project title, composer, and lyricist in addition to the music.

Every master page set can only contain a single First master page.

Note

If you create no First page pair, the first page in your layout uses the Default page pair.

Default

A page pair that is usually used for pages after the first page in a layout. By default, Default master pages contain tokens to display the flow title and page number in addition to the music.

Every master page set must contain a Default master page, but can only contain a single Default master page.

Custom

A page pair that can have any layout. Custom master pages allow you to create layouts that you want to apply to multiple pages but not all pages, for example, if you want to show an image at the same position on only the final pages in each part layout.

Note

If you insert a page to a layout using a custom master page, you create an override. This means that if you insert a page in the middle or at the end of the layout using a custom master page and then remove the override, that page is automatically assigned the Default master page.
