I am setting a series of items for a single melody instrument (i.e. using one stave). These items are generally quite short and will fit on one page. Sometimes I can even get 2 on a page.
But a few of them require 2 pages, and naturally I try to arrange things so that they cover a left-hand page and a right-hand page in that order. At the head of each item I have a markup which takes up something like 2 cm. of space. I would like to create a similar empty space on the right-hand page of a 2-page item, so that the first stave of the 2nd page is roughly lined up with the top stave on the left-hand page. I can't add a markup in the middle of a score unless it is somehow attached to a stave. I could perhaps do something like create an invisible staccato dot on a note in the top stave of the page, and give it an extreme Y-offset. But I can't help feeling there must be a more elegant and orthodox way of doing what I want. Suggestions, please? David
