Layouts
Layouts combine musical content, as represented by ows and players, with rules for page
formatting and music engraving, and allow you to produce paginated music notation that can be
printed or exported in various formats. For example, part layouts only include the music for that
player whereas full score layouts contain all staves in the project.
You can control practically every aspect of the visual appearance of the music in each layout
independently, including staff size, note spacing, and system formatting. Each layout can also
have independent page formatting settings, such as page size, margins, running headers, and
footers.
Dorico Elements provides the following layout types:
Full score
A full score layout includes all players and all ows in your project by default. Full score
layouts are concert pitch by default.
Part
A part layout is automatically created when you add a player to your project. You can
also create empty part layouts and assign players to them manually.
By default, instrumental part layouts contain all ows. They are also transposed pitch
by default.
Custom score
A custom score layout initially does not contain any players or ows. This allows you
to create your score manually and, for example, assign only one ow instead of all
ows or only vocal and piano players to create a vocal score. Custom score layouts are
concert pitch by default.
TIP
You can combine players, layouts, and ows together in any combination. For example, you
might add all percussion players to a single part layout so that the performers can manage
instrument changes themselves. In a large-scale work, you might also create a piano reduction
for choir rehearsals, but only assign that piano player to the vocal score, meaning it does not
appear in the orchestral full score at all.
You can also create as many layouts as required.
