Ahh - that's your situation..
i guess what you call 'page' is basically
one 'frame' of the score?
if this is the case, what if instead of placing e.g.
field 1 - 5 in frame (or page) 1, field 6 - 10 in
frame 10 and so on, you place ALL the fields in ALL
the frames (fields 1 - 10 in both frame 1 and 10)
but only the relevant ones
placed in the visible area (800x600). The others can be
above the stage top or whereever.
let me know whether that takes you closer to a solution?#
