Flow names and flow titles

Whenever you add a flow to a project, the default name of a flow is Flow plus an incremental number. In Dorico Pro, flows have both a flow name and a flow title, which are the same by default but can be different if, for example, you want to organize sketch versions of flows without affecting their displayed titles in the music.

When you enter names for flows in flow cards in the Flows panel in Setup mode, those names are automatically added in the Title field for the corresponding flow in the Project Info dialog. If you later rename flows in the Flows panel, the corresponding flow titles are updated.

Changing the names or titles of flows in the Project Info dialog removes the link between their flow title and flow name, meaning that renaming flows in Setup mode no longer automatically updates the corresponding flow titles in the Project Info dialog.

Titles shown in scores and parts are linked to the Title field for each flow in the Project Info dialog, using the {@projectTitle@} and {@flowTitle@} tokens. This allows you to organize flows with different names to their displayed title in the music.

Tip

You can change both flow names and flow titles in the Project Info dialog, and you can also change flow names in the Flows panel in Setup mode.
