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.
Layouts
Layouts combine musical content, as represented by flows and players, with rules for page formatting and music engraving, and allow you to produce paginated music notation that can be printed or exported in various formats. For example, part layouts typically only show the music for one player, whereas full score layouts show the music of all players in the project.
Creating layouts
You can create any number of full score, custom score, and part layouts in each project. By default, Dorico Pro creates a single full score layout and a part layout for each player.

Creating layouts

You can create any number of full score, custom score, and part layouts in each project. By default, Dorico Pro creates a single full score layout and a part layout for each player.

Procedure

In Setup mode, in the Layouts panel, click one of the following layout types:
- Add Full Score Layout
- Add Instrumental Part Layout
- Add Custom Score Layout

Result

The layout is added to the list of layouts in the Layouts panel.

Note

Layouts are not available in the layout selector until you have assigned at least one player to them.
You can also add new custom score layouts by pressing Shift-L.

After Completing This Task

You can assign players and flows to the layout.
If you want to change the position of the new layout in the layouts list, you can reorder and renumber layouts.
You can override the clef and/or transposition for the layout; for example, to show the music of the same player with different clefs/transpositions in different layouts.
