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 page template applied to them, any casting off values applied to them, system and frame breaks, and frame padding.
Hiding/Showing blank staves after final flows
You can hide/show additional blank staves to fill the page after the final flow in each layout independently; for example, if you want to emulate the convention of showing additional blank staves between the final system and the bottom of the page when formatting part layouts for recording sessions.
Changing the number of blank staves in frames
You can change the number of blank staves shown in individual music frame chains; for example, if you want more blank staves than are shown by default without changing the default staff/spacing in the layout.
