Adding composers

You can enter a composer name for the project and for each flow, independently of each other; for example, when compiling songbooks with different composers.

In projects that only contain a single flow, you can enter information for either the project or flow. However, you must then ensure that you use the appropriate tokens.

Dorico Pro displays the project composer on first pages automatically, using a token on the First page template.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-I to open the Project Info dialog.
  2. In the list on the left, select Project.
  3. On the right, enter the composer for the whole project in the Composer field.
  4. Optional: Repeat steps 2 to 3 for each flow in the project.
    Tip

    You can copy project information that you have already entered by selecting the source from the Copy info from menu at the bottom of the dialog, then clicking Copy.

  5. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

Composer names for the project and each flow are updated. They automatically appear on pages that use the corresponding tokens, such as the first page.

By default, composer names on first pages use the Composer paragraph style for text formatting and alignment.
