+Different margins for odd/even pages
+</H2>
+<P>
+Sometimes you may want to make margins different for odd and even pages,
+for example, if you want to put music in a ringed binder, and thus want to
+offset the printing on the pages to avoid the holes in the paper.
+While you can't do this directly, you can get the desired effect by using
+appropriate macros, and then printing the odd and even pages in two passes.
+</P>
+<P>
+In the Mup input file, put something like this:
+<BR><PRE>
+score
+ // if the WIDELEFT macro is set,
+ // make the left margin extra wide,
+ // otherwise if WIDERIGHT is set,
+ // make the right margin extra wide,
+ // otherwise make them equal.
+ ifdef WIDELEFT
+ leftmargin=1
+ rightmargin=0.5
+ else ifdef WIDERIGHT
+ leftmargin=0.5
+ rightmargin=1
+ else
+ leftmargin=0.75
+ rightmargin=0.75
+ endif endif
+</PRE><BR>
+</P>
+<P>
+Then when printing, print in two passes. First print the odd pages:
+<BR><PRE>
+mupprnt -oodd -DWIDELEFT file.mup
+</PRE><BR>
+Then turn the paper over and print the even pages:
+<BR><PRE>
+mupprnt -oeven -DWIDERIGHT file.mup
+</PRE><BR>
+</P>
+<P>
+This idea should work as long as the sum of the left and right margins are
+equal between the WIDELEFT and WIDERIGHT parts. Otherwise you may get
+different numbers of measures on each page in the two runs, and you'll
+end up missing or repeating measures.
