Engrave mode
Engrave mode allows you to manipulate and modify every item in your project, but without deleting them, moving them rhythmically, or changing the pitch of notes. You can also determine how the pages in each layout of your project are formatted for printing or exporting.
Text formatting
Dorico Pro combines different settings for the appearance of text, meaning that you can format fonts and texts in different places depending on their function.
Character Styles dialog
The Character Styles dialog allows you to change character styles and create new styles. You can later apply character styles to individual letters or words in different places in your project by choosing them in the text editor.
Creating character styles
You can create new character styles from scratch and you can duplicate existing character styles and edit the settings.
