Re: setting the number of pages for a score

[Werner LEMBERG]

I want to make you aware of a very special problem w.r.t. automatic
page layout with optimized page breaks: scores for piano four-hands.
On the left page there is the `secondo' part (the player sitting on
the left), and on the right page there is the `primo' part (the player
sitting on the right).  Normally, such piano scores are printed in
landscape format.

It is necessary that both the left and the right page are treated as a
pair, having the same number of bars.  A good place for a page break
is a larger rest in either the left or right hand of one of the two
players.

Hopefully, the used algorithm can be prepared to handle this -- it's
not necessary to implement it right now (it sounds like a sponsored
feature :-) but it would be a pity if the new stuff makes it
impossible to do that.
