facing page margins?

[tristanshout]

Is there an easy way to set up symmetrical page layouts for facing page (2-sided) printing? For example, set the binding side margin to 1 inch and the outside margin to 0.5 inch? I noticed that the page layout currently has the page numbers for facing pages (even on left, odd on right), which sort of suggests that the intention is for this kind of facing page printing, yet the the only margin controls I've been able to find are for single page (non-facing) printing (i.e., left, right, etc, applying to all pages).

The only way I've found to do what I want so far is to edit the page layout of each page individually. This works, but is kind of tedious.

If this feature doesn't exist, then please consider it. Perhaps all it would take is a mode control in the page margin dialog to switch between single-sided and facing-page modes, with a suitable change in the meaning of the left and right margins for facing page mode (left -> inside or binding side, right -> outside).

Document menu > Page Format > Score…

Document menu > Page Format > Parts…

The pane for "Facing Pages" is in the lower right quadrant of the dialog box Page Format.

When you have entered your desired page format settings, All future pages will get these page format settings.
You won't see any change in already existing pages until you Redefine Pages (Page Layout Tool, Page Layout menu).

Peter,
Those options don't appear in PrintMusic. Thanks, though.

Tristan,
You've found the way. That's another one of the limitations of PM. MM is not going to make any changes that would increase the features. They want you to upgrade!
