Front matter

Front matter in Dorico SE is a broad term that covers all information included before the first bar of music in scores.

Front matter includes musical information often added on pages before the first pages of scores, such as a title page, instrumentation list, program note, and performance instructions.

Front matter also includes information above the music on the first page of scores and parts, such as the dedication, title, subtitle, composer, and lyricist.

Tip

An efficient way of keeping information consistent across all layouts is to use tokens that refer to fields in the Project Info dialog. The default page templates display different information according to their type.
