Having this all contained in app would be very useful. If you want the barlines for standard 4 bar spacing then you obviously don’t bother with changing the barlines to dashed, and you don’t need to make that edit.Would the team consider adding a menu item “create manuscript page” perhaps with options to customise the look? Creating worksheets /exams in Dorico and then needing to have a blank manuscript page to students to do their work on. Depending on your measure # settings for the rest of the project, you may need to get rid of them on the manuscript page, but Select More x2 then Alpha channel 0 does the trick quickly. That’s it, you’re done!!! After the initial file creation, you now have a blank page of manuscript ready imported into any score with 3 steps. In Engrave Music Symbols/Rests, select the Double Whole Rest, and simply delete the glyph.In Engraving Options/Barlines/Design change #7, the dash length, to 0 spaces.Import the flow you just exported in step 7 above into the file where you want the page of manuscript paper.To add a blank page of manuscript to another file: We don’t care that this doesn’t look like manuscript paper yet because we will need to make all the final changes in the destination file. Template file is now done so save the file, then export the flow.I’m not entirely sure what the fastest way to do this is, but change all barlines to dashed if you don’t want barlines (by Alt-clicking?), or leave them if you want the even 4 bars per system look.

By doing it this way you will override virtually any final system justification setting in the destination file, plus preserve the option of the fixed 4 bars across look. (Same issue with Layout Options) You now should have 10 systems, 4 bars a piece. In Write mode Alt-click the System break every 4 bars.(Yes, this can be done in Layout Options, but when we import this into another file with different Layout Options it won’t work, so this needs to be done here.) Assign a Frame Break in the first bar with Staff Labels: None, then in bar 5 assign a system break and select Staff Labels: None.With Force Duration on, input a Double Whole Rest, and copy it to fill 40 measures.In a new file, create an 8/4 time sig at beginning.This is not a perfect workaround as it is contingent on not ever needing a double whole rest or dashed barlines, but otherwise it’s pretty fast.įirst create your manuscript paper template file: Just thought of another way to fairly easily add a page of manuscript to any project in Dorico.

Headers and page #s wouldn’t work on that page though unless you added them in the PDF utility. I think you said in another thread that you didn’t currently have access to any sort of PDF utility, but if you did you could also have a sheet of blank manuscript paper already exported as a PDF that you could just amend to the end of any PDF. Here’s a midterm I started preparing last night with some blank measures for students to fill in that was really easy to do in Dorico: I generally use a dashed barline with the dash length set to 0 in Engraving Options/Barlines to effectively have invisible barlines when needed too. I’m not entirely sure how it would work, I guess as a Master Page of some sort? It’s pretty easy to use Remove Rests to get rid of the whole rests though.
