changing left- and right-printing page numbers
Posted: Tue Feb 20, 2018 1:11 pm
I've got a three-movement piano score that's almost done. The first movement is 7 pages, the second 12, and the third 10.
So I change the page offset (and now I can't remember how I did that) on the second page of the second movement to say 7, which means add that number to the absolute page number of the current file. This means that the page now becomes 9, and the rest of the pages follow suit. All is well. (No page number appears on the first page of any movement.)
Except that this page number appears as a LEFT-HAND page, and 10 is a RIGHT-HAND page, etc., whereas ODD-numbered pages are always printed on the RIGHT (and evens on the left).
And yes, it means that the second and third movements will begin on a left-hand page. Common enough, right?
Since the second movement has an even number of pages, the same problem pertains to the third page.
How do I fix this? I figure this must be a beginners question, ergo posted here. Thanks much.
