Adding lyricists

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

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 lyricist 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 lyricist for the whole project in the Lyricist 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

Lyricist 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, lyricist names on first pages use the Lyricist paragraph style for text formatting and alignment.
