Page formatting
The formatting of pages in Dorico Pro is determined by a number of factors, including the layout’s staff size, page margins, the master page applied to them, any casting off values applied to them, system and frame breaks, and frame padding.
Condensing
Condensing is the process of showing the music for multiple players on fewer staves than normal, usually by allowing multiple instruments of the same type to share a staff, such as Flutes 1-2 or Horns 1-4. In Dorico Pro, this is an automatic process that allows you to show condensed staves in some layouts, such as full score layouts, and uncondensed staves in others, such as the part layouts.
Changing condensing options from rhythmic positions
You can change the settings of notation options for condensing for individual condensing groups from selected rhythmic positions onwards in individual layouts.
Deleting condensing changes
You can delete manual condensing changes, which returns condensing to the previous existing condensing change in the flow, if one exists, or the default condensing settings in the layout.
