If you opened MusicXML or MIDI files, Dorico Pro creates new project files from the MusicXML or MIDI content, which you can save as default Dorico projects.
If MusicXML files include page size, margin, and staff size settings, Dorico Pro imports those values. If they are not included, Dorico Pro creates suitable settings according to the number of instruments in the file.
