1. Printing to PDF for print shop and download, the former using the printer driver for making the booklet. (I never print from Finale to paper except for proofreading.) 2. Everything starts on right-hand side. I used to have a separate wraparound cover with the music beginning on the first right-hand pages, but have added a title page and its obverse for notes there. Basically, I'm going back to rework my scores (in order of my interest) to make them all consistent. >The simplest answer will be if you started the music on a right hand >page; in this case, leave the performance notes where they are, use a >page offset on that page only to number the page appropriately, and >alter the printing scheme so that you print the performance notes on the >proper leaf or page without otherwise changing the file. Since I am printing to PDF, this would be the same as printing the page ranges separately and combining the PDFs externally -- but easier. :) >On the other hand, if the music is on the left hand page Thank goodness I don't have to follow that procedure. >Last step: write a narrative, non-printing text block describing how >you print the document, and assign the block to the title page.

I have put in non-printing blocks before, but it never occurred to me to add descriptions of how to print (or otherwise deal with) oddness in the file. And I have lots of oddness in files.
