What's the issue with long-throw staplers? I've been using one (PaperPro) for years; reliable, consistent alignment and effortless stapling. Don't you have to prefold the paper for a saddle stapler? Stapling first then folding works great for me, but I'm open to adopting a superior method.

Printing uneven numbered parts booklet style in Finale is somewhat fussier. You need to create the required extra blank pages to reach any multiple of four. So seven pages of music will require an extra blank page added at the end. This is often a consideration when I�m doing my layout. Yes, the Swingline saddle stapler is a life saver! I�ve seen too many people try to use a long reach stapler for this purpose�boo!
