2 Layouts

Lists the layouts in your project. A single full score layout and a part layout for each player

are created automatically, but you can create and delete layouts as required. By default,

layouts contain all ows and full score layouts contain all players.

3 Flows

Shows the ows in your project, ordered left to right. By default, ows contain all players

and are assigned to all layouts.

The three panels work together to allow you to control how and where the players, layouts, and

ows in your project are used. When you select an item in one of the panels, that panel and the

selected item are highlighted in a different color and checkboxes appear in cards in the other

panels. You can activate/deactivate these checkboxes independently to change how material is

distributed across players, layouts, and ows.

Players, layouts, and ows

In Dorico Elements, players, layouts, and ows are all connected to each other, meaning that you

can control where music appears in a exible way.

● Players can be assigned to any combination of layouts and ows. For example, you can

assign a single player to both the full score layout and their own part layout, and remove

them from ows in which they do not play. By default, players are assigned to all ows and

to both the full score layout and their own part layout.

● Layouts can contain any combination of players and ows. For example, you can assign all

the singers to a single part layout, then remove the ows from the layout in which they do

not sing. By default, layouts contain all ows and full score layouts contain all players.

● Flows can contain any combination of players and be assigned to/removed from layouts.

By default, ows contain all players and are assigned to all layouts.

NOTE

● If you remove a player from a ow, any notes you have already input for that player in that

ow are deleted.

● Removing a ow from a layout automatically removes that layout from the ow, and vice

versa. The same is true for players and layouts, and players and ows.

You can control how and where the players, layouts, and ows in your project are used by using

the panels in Setup mode.
