You can change the margins both above and below flow headings, which control the gap between the preceding flow and the flow heading, and the gap between the flow heading and the start of the next flow.
Prerequisite
Flow headings are shown in the layouts in which you want to change the margins above/below flow headings.
Procedure
Result
The margins above/below flow headings in the selected layouts are changed.
-
Flow heading top margin sets the gap between the top of flow headings and the end of the preceding flow.
-
Flow heading bottom margin sets the gap between the bottom of flow headings and the start of the next flow.
For example, when the bottom margin is set to 0, the bottom of the lowest frame in the flow heading aligns with the top staff line of the first system in the flow below the flow heading.
-
If you want to change the margins above/below flow headings on individual pages, you can do this by inserting a flow heading change and changing the margins at the change.
-
If you want to move individual flow headings upwards/downwards, you can do this by moving the system handle of the first system of the flow to which the flow headings apply. You can also move the frames in flow headings individually, but this creates a page template override, preventing Dorico Pro from updating the page if, for example, you later edit the page template.
