RESULT

The instrument names for the selected instrument are reset to the current default settings for

its instrument type. If you changed the default name for the instrument type after adding the

instrument, resetting its names changes them to your new default names.

TIP

You can assign a key command for Reset Instrument Names on the Key Commands page in

Preferences, which resets all instrument names in the project to their default settings.

Flow names and ow titles

Whenever you add a ow to a project, the default name of a ow is Flow plus an incremental

number. In Dorico Elements, ows have both a ow name and a ow title, which are the same by

default but can be different if, for example, you want to organize sketch versions of

ows without

affecting their displayed titles in the music.

When you enter names for ows in ow cards in the Flows panel in Setup mode, those names

are automatically added in the Title eld for the corresponding ow in the Project Info dialog. If

you later rename

ows in the Flows panel, the corresponding ow titles are updated.

Changing the names or titles of ows in the Project Info dialog removes the link between their

ow title and ow name, meaning that renaming ows in Setup mode no longer automatically

updates the corresponding ow titles in the Project Info dialog.

Titles shown in scores and parts are linked to the Title eld for each ow in the Project Info

dialog, using the {@projectTitle@} and {@owTitle@} tokens. This allows you to organize ows

with different names to their displayed title in the music.

TIP

You can change both ow names and ow titles in the Project Info dialog, and you can also

change

ow names in the Flows panel in Setup mode.
