Changing the page size and orientation
You can change the page size and orientation of each layout independently. For example, you
can use a large, landscape page in full score layouts and a small, portrait page for part layouts.
PROCEDURE
1. In Setup mode, choose Setup > Layout Options.
The Layout Options dialog opens.
2. In the Layouts list, select the layouts in which you want to change the page size and/or
orientation 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 Page Setup in the page list.
4. In the Page Size section, select a page size from the Size menu.
For example, you can select xed page sizes, such as A3 or Letter, or select Custom to
dene your own page size.
5. Optional: If you selected Custom, change the Width and Height of the page in any of the
following ways:
● Enter values into the value elds.
● Click the arrows beside the value elds.
6. Choose one of the following options for Orientation:
● Portrait
● Landscape
7. Optional: Repeat steps 2 to 6 for other layouts whose page size/orientation you want to
change.
8. Click Apply, then Close.
RESULT
The page size is changed for all the selected layouts.
NOTE
Changing the page size of layouts might not change the paper size automatically selected for
those layouts in the Print Options panel in Print mode. For example, if your default printer
cannot print the page size selected for layouts, the largest paper size the printer can handle is
selected. Similarly, if you had already set options for printing layouts before changing the page
size in Layout Options, Dorico Elements attempts to preserve your original print options.
