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.
Master pages
Master pages function like templates in Dorico Pro, allowing the same page formatting to be applied to multiple different pages in different layouts.
Master page editor
The master page editor allows you to view and change the format of the master pages.

Master page editor

The master page editor allows you to view and change the format of the master pages.

You can open the master page editor in any of the following ways:

Double-click a page pair in the Master Pages section of the Pages panel.
Select a page pair in the Master Pages section of the Pages panel and click Edit Master Page.

You can customize master pages in the master page editor to suit your requirements, including inserting extra frames and editing/moving existing frames. You can also change the frame chains to which music frames are assigned, and change which flows and players are assigned to frames.

Note

Tokens in text frames and music in music frames are automatically updated as appropriate for each layout. However, graphics frames can only show a single image in all layouts. If you change the image in a graphics frame in one layout, this updates the master page and affects all layouts.
