Thank you for this series of very useful tutorials.

I am so pleased I decided to move from Sibelius to Dorico. And I absolutely love these videos, they are so great and helpful.

[Mrapg]

Your videos are always very clear and concise. There is never any wasted time. Thanks for another great one.

Seriously revolutionary music notation software. Dorico is going to slowly take over. Everything is so organized. Your tutorials are perfect and I can find an answer to every question I have on here or on your website. Keep it up!

Thanks for another great video. I do wish there was a way to "mirror" the layout of master pages -- that is, not just copy Left to Right, but Mirror it so that the pages numbers, etc. stay in the appropriate place. This would even be helpful if you wanted to keep an inner margin wider for binding. Just a suggestion.

what version is this? almost none of these videos look like my projects in dorico does. when i open a new project nothing looks like this. if i open engrave, things arent in the same place

[MonkeyDLuffy-cqlo]

Thank you. One question: how to save the frame from the page overriding the master pages as a master page?

[Music_Lad]

Are these features available in Dorico Elements? I'm using Elements 5 and the page layout pannel doesn’t apear when opening engrave mode.

[AndreasvanHaren]

One issue with the copying the masterpage frame change to the other side, is that the page number ends up on the wrong side.

Wonderful tutorial, thanks so much! My only problem is that the music examples are so interesting (especially the Schumann string quartet) I start paying too much attention to the music, and not enough to the narration!  :)

I can't find the page layout on Dorico 5! Where is it?

[GuitarBasement]

It seems that "Master Page" are now called "Page Templates."
