Layout name
Shows the name of the layout. Dorico Elements automatically adds default names depending
on the name of the instrument that is assigned to a player and on the type of layout
that is added. For example, if you assign a ute to a player, the instrumental part layout
automatically gets the same name. If you add an empty instrumental part layout, the layout
name shows
Empty part and an incremental number if you add multiple empty part layouts.
4 Page size and orientation
Shows the size and orientation of the layout as set on the Page Setup page in Setup >
Layout Options.
5 Space size
Shows the space size between two staff lines in points, as set on the Page Setup page in
Layout Options. This indicates the size of staves in the layout.
6 Layout number
Allows you to set a unique number for the layout that can be used as part of its le name
when exported as a graphic. This can be useful to ensure exported part layout les are
organized in their orchestral order, as this is usually different to their alphabetical order.

automatically included in the layout.

created in your project.
