Thank you for addressing this so quickly! Even though it’s not ideal, I think it’s a testament to how logically Dorico has been structured that there are so many non-invasive options for work-arounds.
I’m a big fan of the ideas panel in Sibelius (as you can see by my workflow), and while I was initially looking for something similar in Dorico, I’ve found flows to be even better due to their flexibility. It still might be nice to have a way for users to define ‘sketch’ type flows and somehow take them out of timecode considerations entirely. Often I have sketches in a piano staff which I then orchestrate, or else I split a section of music into a flow before I make changes. Being able to right click a selection and immediately split it into a new flow would be lovely.
