The fact that there are two places to make page layout changes—the Page Layout tool and the Page Format for Score dialog box—gives you some extra flexibility. Suppose you need to format a score with right and left facing pages that are formatted differently, and have different margin requirements. Using this system, you can apply a secondary page layout to specified pages (just the odd-numbered pages, for example).

To apply a different page layout to selected pages

1. Create the primary page layout in the usual way. Either enter numbers into the Page Format for Score dialog box (Document Options in the Document menu) and then choose Page Layout > Redefine Pages > All Pages, or see To change the page layout, above.
2. Choose Document > Page Format > Score. The Page Format for Score dialog box appears.
3. Enter the numbers that define the secondary page layout. For help in interpreting the various measurement boxes in this dialog box, see To change the default page layout (Page Format for Score dialog box), above.
4. Click OK (or press ENTER).
5. Click the Page Layout tool  .
6. Go to the first of the pages you want to change. Choose Page Layout > Redefine Pages > Left Pages, Right Pages, Selected Pages, to give a second Layout to certain pages.
7. As always, choose Utilities > Update Layout.
