double-page view

Post by giga17 »

Hi,

When viewing a document in double-page view, the display software rotates it in increments of 2 pages.
However, sometimes I need to shift my display in increments of 1. For example, if I have to view pages 1 and 2 together, no problem, but if I want to view pages 2 and 3 together, it's impossible because when I rotate, it will display pages 3 and 4.
How can I display double-page spread and turn pages in increments of 1? Thank you.

Hello giga17,

You may want to activate the "Show Cover Page in Two Pages View" mode.

Thank you, rakunavi. That's a good suggestion. However, what I want is to be able to turn the pages one by one with a double-page display.

Desired display:
Display 1: pages 1 and 2
Display 2: pages 2 and 3
Display 3: pages 3 and 4

The software in double-page mode displays:
Display 1: pages 1 and 2
Display 2: pages 3 and 4
Display 3: pages 5 and 6

And it's impossible to validate an entry on page 2 to display 2 and 3 together.

Here's an example in pictures:
a) Cursor on page 3 = display of the pair 19 and 20
b) Cursor on page 4 cannot be validated = display of the pair 19 and 20
c) Cursor on page 5 = display of pages 21-22

So I can't display the pair 20-21 together.

Pages 4-5.jpg

You might try a ribbon layout and continuous mode.

Did you know, rakunavi, that you should be considered a public utility? I'm very happy with this feature, which I had overlooked in my daily routine. So, for that, a very sincere thank you!

Let's be crazy... given that, like many musicians, I trigger the page turn with a USB foot pedal, I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically trigger the "ctrl" key in the software! (Yes, yes, I know I'm exaggerating ^^). In fact, I suspect it's probably impossible!

One last word: frankly, the animated GIF with the same score as the excerpt shown is top class!

THANK YOU!
