A shame that it can't be specified or at least follow the offset page number to determine left and right rather than the real page number. Ah, but one can specify the offset page. When one defines a text block containing a page number, one can define the block to apply to only left pages or only right pages. So what I do is to define two blocks conmtaining page numbers with the same offset. I apply One block so that it applies to left pages, I apply tne other text block to right pages. Both blocks use the same page number offset (ikf a page number offset is needed), and in most cases don't need to give poage numbers another thought. ns This is exactly how I'm doing it. But Finale is following the real page 1 to give me a Right Page when I want it to follow the offset number 10 and give me a left.

Steve, I went through this just the other day as I got into a paper saving mode; it's two steps and much simpler than going and reversing the page text blocks. Just insert your page, then move to your new page 3 and right click on the page number block (in the text tool, of course), and change the page range back to 2, since it will have changed to 3. 15 seconds, and a lot less clicks than the whole, wait, what side of the page should this page number be on? Maybe that's from doing too much late-at-night work, but I need things that don't give me too many choices or my head explodes from the possibilities! And to everyone, thanks so much for the TG Tools advice; I'm going to see if I can't use that today and get some linked parts action going. I guess I have a lot to learn about all the toys in the TG Tools chest... Michael ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] Left page to start
Hi, I'm trying to work out how to make the first page in my score a left page? Current kludge is to insert a blank but I'm sure it's in a menu somewhere... Steve P. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

No, inserting a blank page is the right way to go, unless you want to play with page number offsets and keep track of which pages are really LH or RH.
