Setup mode
Setup mode allows you to set up the fundamental elements of the project: instruments and the players that hold them, flows, layouts, and videos. You can also determine how they interact with each other; for example, by changing the players assigned to layouts.
Player, layout, and instrument names
In Dorico Elements, you can use three different names to refer to the same player in different contexts. This allows you to show relevant information in different places, such as in staff labels and at the top of part layouts.
Renaming layouts
You can rename layouts and reset renamed layouts to their default name. By default, layout names appear with borders at the top of pages in part layouts that use the First page template.

Renaming layouts

You can rename layouts and reset renamed layouts to their default name. By default, layout names appear with borders at the top of pages in part layouts that use the First page template.

Procedure

In Setup mode, in the Layouts panel, select the layout you want to rename.
Press Return to open the layout name text field.
Rename the layout in any of the following ways:
- Enter a new layout name or edit the existing name.
- To revert the layout name to the player name, click Reset to Default .
Tip
If you want to include an accidental in the instrument transposition, you can enter the appropriate token, such as {@flat@} for ♭.
Press Return.

Result

The selected layout is renamed, or reverted to its default name.

Note

Renaming layouts does not affect staff labels, which show either instrument or player names.
Part layout names you have changed no longer get updated when you rename the corresponding players.
