Changing your preferred unit of measurement

You can change your default preferred unit of measurement to be used throughout Dorico Pro for options that use absolute measurements, such as the size of page margins in Layout Options. It does not affect options that are relative to the size of staves, such as options in Engraving Options or Notation Options.

  2. Click General in the page list.
  3. In the General section, select one of the following options from the Preferred unit of measurement menu:

    • Points (pt)

    • Millimeters (mm)

    • Inches (in)

    • Centimeters (cm)

  4. Click Apply, then Close.
