Changing whether layouts are transposing/non-transposing
You can change whether each layout in your project is transposing or non-transposing. In Dorico
Elements, full score layouts are non-transposing and part layouts are transposing by default.
For example, full scores are often non-transposing to show notes at concert pitch but part
layouts are often transposing so the player can read the notes they must play in order to achieve
the desired sounding pitch.
PROCEDURE
1. In Setup mode, choose Setup > Layout Options.
The Layout Options dialog opens.
2. In the Layouts list, select the layouts you want to change to transposing/non-transposing
in one of the following ways:
● Click Select All.
● Click Select All Full Score Layouts.
● Click Select All Part Layouts.
● Click Select All Custom Score Layouts.
● Ctrl/Cmd-click individual layouts.
● Shift-click adjacent layouts.
By default, the layout currently open in the music area is selected when you open the
dialog.
3. Click Players in the page list.
4. In the Players section, activate/deactivate Transposing layout.
5. Click Apply, then Close.
RESULT
The selected layouts are transposed pitch when Transposing layout is activated, and concert
pitch when it is deactivated.
