My score parts have many intentionally blank pages in order to keep the songs starting on the rightmost page. I created a simple master page that has a single text block that says “page intentionally blank” and insert as needed. All works great. I just decided that it would be helpful to still have the page number up top. No matter how I edit the “blank” master page, I cannot get the additional text field to appear in the parts. If I edit the original “page intentionally blank” text block, that updates automatically, but I can’t get any new text fields to appear.
Follow up: Apparently I can’t brute force it either. If I adding a new blank page and deleting the old does give me the elements I want, but it also trashes many of the engraving adjustments that I made downstream, requiring me to re-engrave all the parts and the entire score.
Just inserting a blank page automatically creates a page override as shown by the little red triangle below:
Once you have a page override, it is specific to that individual page, so editing a page template will no longer automatically update. If you want to fix this without re-doing the entire layout downstream, you can first apply a page template change to the blank page containing the info you want. This will initially appear to do nothing, as there’s a page override on that page already. Then remove the page override and the page template you applied will appear.
This is sort of a drag if you have a lot of them to do, but doing it this way rather than removing them all at once at least keeps all the formatting downstream.
