| 16 | Sometimes you may want to make margins different for odd and even pages, | |
| 17 | for example, if you want to put music in a ringed binder, and thus want to | |
| 18 | offset the printing on the pages to avoid the holes in the paper. | |
| 19 | While you can't do this directly, you can get the desired effect by using | |
| 20 | appropriate macros, and then printing the odd and even pages in two passes. | |
| 21 | </P> | |

| 23 | In the Mup input file, put something like this: | |
| 24 | <BR><PRE> | |
| 25 | score | |
| 26 | // if the WIDELEFT macro is set, | |
| 27 | // make the left margin extra wide, | |
| 28 | // otherwise if WIDERIGHT is set, | |
| 29 | // make the right margin extra wide, | |
| 30 | // otherwise make them equal. | |
| 31 | ifdef WIDELEFT | |
| 32 | leftmargin=1 | |
| 33 | rightmargin=0.5 | |
| 34 | else ifdef WIDERIGHT | |
| 35 | leftmargin=0.5 | |
| 36 | rightmargin=1 | |
| 37 | else | |
| 38 | leftmargin=0.75 | |
| 39 | rightmargin=0.75 | |
| 40 | endif endif | |
| 41 | </PRE><BR> | |
| 42 | </P> | |
| 43 | <P> | |
| 44 | Then when printing, print in two passes. First print the odd pages: | |
| 45 | <BR><PRE> | |
| 46 | mupprnt -oodd -DWIDELEFT file.mup | |
| 47 | </PRE><BR> | |
| 48 | Then turn the paper over and print the even pages: | |
| 49 | <BR><PRE> | |
| 50 | mupprnt -oeven -DWIDERIGHT file.mup | |
| 51 | </PRE><BR> | |
| 52 | </P> | |
| 53 | <P> | |
| 54 | This idea should work as long as the sum of the left and right margins are | |
| 55 | equal between the WIDELEFT and WIDERIGHT parts. Otherwise you may get | |
| 56 | different numbers of measures on each page in the two runs, and you'll | |
| 57 | end up missing or repeating measures. | |
| 58 | </P> | |
