Description

Your idea

Allow customizing the format, including positions and visibility, of elements such as page numbers, measure numbers, and system dividers, differently in odd and even pages, especially showing in the outer edge in a symmetric way, to enable readers of a double-side printing to scan the edge quickly without unrolling the copy completely.

Problem to be solved

Free readers of a double-side printing from unrolling the copy completely to see the content in the inner part

Research direction

Start by locating the page-layout and formatting code for page numbers, measure numbers, and system dividers, then define how odd and even pages should differ and verify that double-sided output places visible elements symmetrically at the outer edges.
