Creating a layout
Layouts dene how music for one or more players in one or more ows is presented, including
page size, margins, staff size, and so on. In this section, you learn how to create a new layout.
PREREQUISITE
You have added at least one player and one ow. You are in Setup mode.
Several layouts are often used in ensembles with multiple players, where each player may
require a layout of the individual instrumental part.
Dorico SE automatically creates a full score
layout that contains all players and all ows as well as individual part layouts that each contain
one player and all ows. If you require a different combination of players and ows, for example,
a part containing the music for two players, you can create your own layouts, as follows:
PROCEDURE
● In the Layouts panel, click Add Instrumental Part Layout.
RESULT
An empty part is created on the Layouts panel.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
You can double-click the empty part card to rename it.
You can also assign ows to the layout by activating their checkboxes in the Flows panel, and
assign players to the layout by activating their checkboxes in the Players panel.
Writing music
Once you have set up your project, you can start writing music.
In Write mode, you can input notes and insert other notations into your score.
TIP
Throughout Dorico SE, most tasks can be accomplished using only your computer's keyboard.
You do not need to use the mouse or touchpad. Learning key commands allows you to use
Dorico SE most eciently. The fastest way to input music is using a MIDI keyboard. If you do not
have a MIDI keyboard, you can use your computer's keyboard. Of course, you can still use the
mouse or touchpad if you want.
