I had a case just yesterday where mirrors should have been perfect (I was creating a 2-sided printout that was going to be cut in half, so I needed passage A at the top of page 1 and passage B at the bottom, and page 2 needed to reverse that, with B on top and A on the bottom (so it could be photocopied back-to-back). A mirror would have been perfect, but I couldn't figure out how to make it work, and just copied and pasted. And then the corrections had to be made in two places. One fortunate thing was that the lyrics were linked the same in both copies, so fixing the accents grave that I misread as acute was pretty easy. But the mirror would have been a lot easier, if it only had a user interface that was discoverable (at least for me). -- David W.
