You could make lily *seem* to count pages twice as fast by doubling what \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string delivers.

\paper { % simple example
 oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { \four-hand-page #1 } % Primo
 evenHeaderMarkup = ##f
}

And \four-hand-page #0 would give you even numbering for Secondo.

 

 

 

Excellent suggestion. It works very well -- thank you. Is there also a way to supress the first page number, and move the numbers to the outer edge?
