Page Numbering Styles

Oh, thanks, again!

Now, it's "Mister Sandman, send me a dream!" over and over.

Here's a little Christmas cheer. A link to a poem by the same woman who wrote "God Bless America". It's called 'Goody Santa Claus on a Sleigh Ride'.

It's about Mrs. Claus wheedling Santa to take her with him on Christmas Eve.

By the way, the 'Goody' in the title is old slang for 'Goodwife' which simply means 'Missus'.

Happy Holidays to all.

Hi David - here I am pestering you again.

After your previous response, I thought I had my problem figured out - see the Goodbye Girl score, page 2.

I started Could It Be Magic? with my Template - Reorder Duet file, which I thought I had cleaned up, with your kind guidance.

I was doing my end-of-task cleanup by going to Page View, and ARRRRGGHHHH!!!- I have a bad (to me - not what I wanted) page 2 - it has

"Arranged by Ralph R. Rayner
Duet"

at the top left margin.

I've tried to use the Search capability of the UG per your suggestions , but searching for "CTRL-A", "CTRL-1", and "CTRL-2" yield not hits. What am I missing? I think Mark used to fuss at Sherry because she was being - in his mind - Ralph's UG.

So, if you could reveal how you got to the area of the UG to which you referred, I would be very appreciative. I will do the digging, once I get a leg up.

Thank you!

Hi, Ralph:

Searching the User's Guide for Page Text should yield results. Honestly, I rarely look at the UG.

If you look at the second page of the Page View, and select the unwanted text (just single click to select the object), you will observe that the Detail Palette appears (provided you have it selected in the View Menu).

In the Detail Palette, between the B and the I icons on the left and the set of three arrow icons for alignment, you will see five icons for setting which pages the text appears on. In order, they are 'Display on first page only (Ctrl+1)', 'Display on all pages Ctrl+A', 'Display on all pages except first (Ctrl+2)', 'Display on left pages only (Ctrl+L)', 'Display on right pages only (Ctrl+R)'

At the moment, the unwanted text is set to 'Display on all pages'. Simply click on the first icon ("Display on first page only') and you're in business.

Note that to set the 'Display on all pages' option with the keyboard shortcut, you need to use a capital A. In other words, use 'Ctrl+Shift+A'. If you don't, you simply 'Select All'. NOTE TO REINHOLD: THIS SHOULD PROBABLY BE UPDATED IN THE POP-UP HELP.

From what I see, both your arranger credit and the author/composer credit are set to display on all pages. Change those to first page only and you're good.

Hope that helps.

Many thanks, David. You have bailed me out yet again.

I appreciate all the time you spent giving me detailed explicit analysis and direction. I'll admit, the "capital A" nuance evaded me, but I have that squared away now (I think, I hope) - including in my Template file.

I have traditionally carried Arranger and Composer on all pages - don't know why - that's just the way I started when I was a Composer neophyte. I think I will experiment a little with that - removing them might prevent going to a third page in some situations.
