I'd really like to know, how you bind your music with it. Do you only stick two pages together, or do you make real booklets with more pages? How?

i print to 9.5x12.5 2-sided, then prepare as a booklet, one piece of tape per pair of pages. tiny bit of space between the pages varies according to whether they are "outer" or "inner" pairs (so the right edges are even in the end) then lay the pairs on top of each other in order -lightly so they don't really stick together yet), bring outer edges together, tap vertically on table to align everything, grab the part on the binding (to hold it centred) and staple twice in the bind with one of those long-armed staplers.

simple, effective, flat, lies flat. don't remember exactly but i think i did 62 parts (~3 pairs of pages avg.) in around 2hrs.

I guess my 3-dimensional perception just hasn't kicked in yet this morning, but I can't picture where the tape goes in a booklet, or why you would use it. I too favor booklets unless I have a part with absolutely NO possible page turns and I have to find another solution, but after fitting the pages together I simply staple them on the fold, as you do.
