Signposts

In Dorico Elements, signposts indicate the positions of important items or changes that cannot

be seen in the score, such as key signatures with no accidentals, hidden items, and rhythmic feel

changes.

Signposts have different colors depending on the item they mark because many items can

show signposts, such as hidden bar numbers and time signatures. They are selectable, meaning

you can use signposts to change properties of hidden/invisible items, for example, by selecting

system break signposts in order to change the staff size from that position.

Signposts include a text summary of the hidden/invisible item to help you identify it. For

example, time signature signposts include the time signature, expressed as a fraction, and its

beat subdivision.

The signpost of a hidden time signature

When multiple signposts can exist at a single rhythmic position, they stack vertically so that they

do not overlap and remain legible.

NOTE

By default, signposts are not printed or included when you export graphics les.
