Deleting pages

You can delete empty pages and any extra pages you have added to layouts.

Dorico Pro automatically creates enough pages and frames to display the flows assigned to both the layout and the music frame chain in the master page set. If you want to delete pages because you do not want to show certain flows, you can instead remove those flows from the layout or the master page frame chain.

You only need to delete pages manually if you inserted them as a blank page or made an override to a page in a layout that is no longer required and now appears blank. For example, an override on the final page in a layout prevents that page and all previous pages being automatically deleted if the layout becomes shorter.

Procedure

  1. In the music area, open the layout from which you want to delete pages.
  2. In the Pages section of the Pages panel, Ctrl/Cmd-click the pages you want to delete.
    Note

    You can only delete pages that are considered master page overrides.

  3. Delete the selected pages by removing all their master page overrides.
    • If any pages in your selection have colored triangles in their top left corner, click Remove Overrides in the Pages section action bar.

    • If any pages in your selection have colored triangles in their bottom right corner, right-click a page and choose Remove Page Number Change(s) from the context menu.

    • If any pages in your selection have colored markings on their top/top and left edges, right-click a page and choose Remove Master Page Change(s) from the context menu.

    • If any pages in your selection have colored markings on their bottom/bottom and right edges, right-click a page and choose Remove Flow Heading Change(s) from the context menu.

Result

Once you have removed all overrides from all the pages you want to delete, they are deleted if they are empty. If they are not empty, removing all their overrides reverts them back to following their default master page.
