Assigning flows to frame chains

You can change which flows are included in each frame chain, for example, if you want to exclude some flows from the master page frame chain because you want those flows to appear in layout frame chains instead.

Note
  • You can assign flows to both master page frame chains and layout frame chains. However, you can only change the flows assigned to layout frame chains in individual layouts, and you can only change the flows assigned to master page frame chains in the master page editor.

  • Changing the assigned flows affects all frames in the same frame chain.

Prerequisite

  • Frames is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • If you want to change the flows assigned to music frame chains on a master page, you have opened the master page in the master page editor.

Procedure

  1. In a music frame belonging to the frame chain whose assigned flows you want to change, click Flows .
  2. In the Filter by Flow list, select the flows you want to assign to the frame chain in one of the following ways:
    • To assign all flows, click All.

    • To assign specific flows, click Selected and activate each required flow.

    • To assign no flows, click Blank Staves.

  3. Click outside of the selector to close it.

Result

All frames in the same frame chain are updated to display all flows, only the selected flows, or blank staves.

Note

If you changed the flows assigned to a master page music frame, the number of pages in the layouts to which the master page set is applied automatically updates and the casting off can change. For example, if you assigned an extra flow to the master page frame chain, enough extra pages and frames to display that flow are added to the corresponding layouts.
