It's easier to slide a page and less dangerous. Of course, I'd never have 15 pages taped together continuously, but I often create layouts of 3 and 4 pages with a combination of slides and page turns. Of course, that's most often when I'm playing a keyboard continuo part, where I have lots of pages to get through. I often also cut things up and make extra tall pages, including foldout wings in some cases. It looks awful, but it works for the music. -- David W.
