Hi Aaron,
I fully agree with Simon's description but want to add one more question
to it:

this is a suggestion by Urs from a user list thread on 2018-08-30: for
putting together scores of four-hand music with the typical primo
right page, secondo left page layout it would be useful to select
through a paper variable whether the music of a \book be typeset on
only odd or only even pages, with according page numbers and margins
(in case of twosided = ##t).
Just to clarify, is this request strictly about page numbering and
margins (something I believe LilyPond already supports albeit via
manual* configuration),
One side is overlooking something here. Those of us who sponsor the
feature request are thinking that there currently is _no_ viable
solution to produce the intended outcome of two scores that can be
zipped to a primo/secondo volume.
As a workaround the issue that LilyPond doesn't provide proper support
for this kind of score the idea is to
* define (page) breaks in an external file
* create one score for the "prima" part with *even* page numbers only
and the margins set for *left* pages
* create another score for the "seconda" part with *odd* page numbers
* apply the same break set to both files to have synchronized (page)
breaks.
* externally zip the PDFs together
Do you know of a way to create a score with a page numbering of 2, 4, 6
etc. ?
If there's a *reasonable* solution to that we could figure out a way of
achieving the whole workflow without changing LilyPond, either as some
external scripted solution or from within a Scheme library.
Urs
