Hi All:
I like to set pages up as a book. If I can have only one page open,
that's perfect especially if you are on a very crowded bandstand or
in a very crowded orchestra pit. After that I like two pages open.
In this case I do a cover page and print the first page of music on
it's other side. for me that insures the player that there are two
pages open.
The problem occurs when sending parts (either Finale files or pdfs)
to to another location usually a school. They don't even notice the
cover page and often players will be scuffling with page turns. How
do I make this clear to anyone who is taping parts together? Laying
parts for page turns is a game and I am very strict about it.
Thanks for any help.
No system is completely idiot-proof! I hope you strongly advise them
to print 2-page parts on 11" x 17" ledger paper, which some have
access to and others do not, but as long as you send what amounts to
separate pages, whatever the actual format, you have no control over
what they do. I wouldn't sweat it. But if you feel really strongly
about it, only sell parts you prepare yourself.
