Hmm, I don't understand your answer. My main concern is to make lilypond handle the above described situation automatically -- lilypond's normal page breaking algorithm won't work because the left and right page for `primo' and `secondo' have be handled synchronously. Here an example of the distribution of bars. The even pages are on the left. page secondo primo ---- ------- ----- 2 1-40 -- 3 -- 1-40 4 41-70 -- 5 -- 41-70 ... Of course I can manually insert \pageBreaks, but... Just to be sure: Have you ever seen such primo/secondo scores? Maybe we are miscommunicating.
