No. You are confusing the binding allotment (which depends on the position of the sheets in the binding and thus is page-dependent) with the inner margin, which is the actually visible free area. Since the inner margins from two opposing pages combine, they are usually chosen to be less than each outer margin. The binding allotment is in addition to the page size and is to be added when the PDF pages are positioned on the printed sheets. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hi Alex, > In books, recto (odd) pages have larger left margin and versos have larger > right margins. There really isn’t a standard. In Robert Bringhurst’s [amazing] typography book, there are lots of examples where left-hand (even) pages have larger left margins and right-hand (odd) pages have larger right margins, so that the text blocks sit closer to each other on facing pages.

Re: Is it possible to invert the two-sided option?
In books, recto (odd) pages have larger left margin and versos have larger
right margins. Does anyone know why LilyPond reverses it?

See

for the parameters you need to add to your \paper block.

Is it possible to invert the two-sided option?
I would like to use \paper{two-sided = ##t} in order to have different
margins for even and odd pages. However, when activating this option, odd
pages get larger right margins and even pages get larger left margins. I'd
like to have it the other way around, so that odd pages get larger left
margins and even pages larger right margins. Is this possible to achieve?
I've found a thread that already deals with this question but I can't for
the life of me make any sense of it:
