Page number paragraph styles

The paragraph style for page numbers controls all aspects of their appearance, including their font, size, and horizontal alignment. You can edit the existing page number paragraph style, and create additional page number paragraph styles, in the Paragraph Styles dialog.

  • You can open the Paragraph Styles dialog in Engrave mode by choosing Engrave > Paragraph Styles.

Dorico Pro offers a single paragraph style for page numbers by default, but you can create other paragraph styles for page numbers. For example, if you want page numbers to appear bold and centered at the tops of pages in full score layouts but appear italic and on the outer edges of pages in part layouts, you can create a new paragraph style based on the existing Page Number paragraph style, but rename it and change the settings.
