Layout and formatting
There are various ways you can control the layout and formatting of pages in your project, including changing the size of pages and adjusting note spacing.
Master pages
Master pages function like templates in Dorico Elements, allowing the same page formatting to be applied to multiple pages and in different layouts.
Master page sets
In Dorico Elements, master pages are provided as parts of master page sets. Master page sets group master page formats together, so there is a master page for all possible situations in your project.

Master page sets

In Dorico Elements, master pages are provided as parts of master page sets. Master page sets group master page formats together, so there is a master page for all possible situations in your project.

New projects contain the following master page sets by default:

Default Full Score: Used for full score and custom score layouts by default.
Default Part: Used for part layouts by default.

The default master page sets contain master pages for first (First) and subsequent (Default) pages.

Master page sets also contain flow headings that allow you to show flow titles above the start of each flow automatically, including when they start on the same page as a previous flow. The default master page sets each contain a single flow heading.

The default master page sets are applied automatically to the appropriate layouts in each new project. You can apply different master page sets to each layout independently.
