1. Re: INDD CS 5.5 --- add a page and the entire gets wrecked?
Willi Adelberger Mar 5, 2013 11:51 PM (in response to Ceencha)OK, SO HERE ARE MY THREE QUESTIONS:
Question A:
Is this the correct way to do it? Does everybody already know this? How come it took me almost 5 years to learn this?
Question B:
What is the best way to "line up" the center thing?

Question C:
I used to have issues where, after adding a page, INDD would totally screw up my file like this:

What I would do is to set the number of the hymn into an anchored frame, so it can be defined exactly in relation to the spine. Also other objects or frames which have a fixed relative position to spine or not to spine.
Question B:
Why do you use 2 independent frames? Make it into the same frame.
Question C:
Take care that all objects snap to magic guides. In CS5.5 you have to have layout adjustment active, later in CS6 define the layou rules and dismiss layoutadjustment.
Another method would be to let the songs completely run in a story. It would adjust completely acording the text frame. You would have to work a lot with anchored frames and be carefuly how you would define the leading and the keep options of the paragraph styles which you will use where you put the anchors to. But I think this would be the most promissing way in respect of automatically updating to left and right pages when inserting new hymns.
Question: How did you set the notes? I have often to typeset christian books and there is often a hymnal part in it.

I am afraid I don't understand what that means. :-(

Because the hymn numbers always need to be on the outside of the page.

What is a "story" ? I would love to know ... sounds very powerful !!!!!

I use Sibelius. I have also used Finale, but I prefer Sibelius.
