Be sure to use a system text style, based on Title, or Composer, etc, and not a staff text style like Technique or Expression. > - repeat the main headers (including page numbers) on added blank > pages The normal header and footer text styles should work already and repeat across music and blank pages on left or right or both sides. New text styles based on these will also work. To print the current page number, use the wildcard "\$PageNum\". I also always find it incredibly frustrating that there is no mechanism in > Sibelius for directly changing the font and/or font size. Everything has to > be done via Text Styles. It's in the Text pane of the Properties window, font and size selection and Bold, Italic, Underline attributes, which can be applied to any portion of the text. Text styles can be powerful when used exclusively, but we're not limited to them for good reason (otherwise text like "p cresc." would be impossible because "p" is in the music text font).
