Master page sets

In Dorico Pro, 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.

The default master page sets contain predefined master pages for first page pairs (First) and subsequent page pairs (Default). This ensures there is a master page format for the first page in each flow, whether that is on a right page or a left page, and a master page format for subsequent pages in each flow on both right and left pages.

New projects contain the following master page sets by default:

• Default Full Score: Used for full score layouts by default.

• Default Part: Used for part layouts by default.

Master page sets also contain flow headings that allow you to format how the titles of flows appear when they start on the same page as a previous flow. The default master page sets each contain a single flow heading.

You do not need to create or customize master page sets initially, as the default sets are applied automatically when you create your project. If you find that you want or need to change the sets, you can do so in any of the following ways:

• Create new custom master page sets based on the default sets.

• Change the default sets according to your requirements for the current project.
