Engrave mode
Engrave mode allows you to manipulate and modify every item in your project, but without deleting them, moving them rhythmically, or changing the pitch of notes. You can also determine how the pages in each layout of your project are formatted for printing or exporting.
Text formatting
Dorico Pro combines different settings for the appearance of text, meaning that you can format fonts and texts in different places depending on their function.
Adding borders to text objects
You can add borders to text and system text objects individually, for example, if you want to make the boundaries of text objects clear. You can show borders on text objects in addition to erasing their backgrounds.
