Creating a layout
Layouts dene how music for one or more players in one or more ows is presented, including
page size, margins, staff size, and so on. In this section, you learn how to create a new layout.
PREREQUISITE
You have added at least one player and one ow. You are in Setup mode.
Several layouts are often used in ensembles with multiple players, where each player may
require a layout of the individual instrumental part. Dorico Elements automatically creates a full
score layout that contains all players and all ows as well as individual part layouts that each
contain one player and all ows. If you require a different combination of players and ows, for
example, a part containing the music for two players, you can create your own layouts, as
follows:
PROCEDURE

to the layout in the Flows panel. Activate the checkboxes of the players that you want to assign
