But it seems to me that the idea of a page offset is useful if you have, for example, a multi-movement piece with each movment in a different file. This is even the use for page offset which is suggested in the help file. In this case, a file might contain 20 pages numbered 60-80, and you clearly don't want to have to add 59 blank pages in front.
I think what would be useful here is a text insert called 'Last page number' or something like that. This would be the page number of the last page of the file, taking any page offsets into account.
