Diglot problem: Base project and secondary project alternate left and right

Question

Hello, I'm creating a diglot (actually discript) publication with each project in a single-column layout on facing pages. I've done this successfully before in the past, but upon updating PTXprint it's giving me a pdf where the base project alternates being on the left vs. the right. So the first pair of pages has base-project (L), secondary project (R), but the second pair of pages has secondary project (L) and base project (R). Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Answer 1

Following up from my previous response, here are some more details to help you get the headers right. The screenshot shows what the Code Snippet will look like in the next version, but in the mean time you can copy and paste the example text from below and place it in the ptxprint-mods.tex file (get to that through the Advanced tab option).

% Diglot Headers
% \def\RH(odd|even)(left|center|right){(\empty|\pagenumber|\(firstref|lastref|rangeref)(L|R|A...G)}
% Working from left to right in sequence across the spread:
\def\RHevenleft{\rangerefL}
\def\RHevencenter{\pagenumber}
\def\RHevenright{\empty}

\def\RHoddleft{\empty}
\def\RHoddcenter{\pagenumber}
\def\RHoddright{\rangerefR}

Thanks so much Mark! That did it.

Answer 2

The quick answer is to turn OFF (disable) the Mirror Pages option on the Layout tab:

This will fix the pages swapping sides, but you will probably need to manually override the header settings to get the appropriate script(s) on each left/right (or inner/outer) combination. (Let me know if you need any assistance with that).

[My guess is that in future we need to rethink what the mirror setting should do, and possibly split it into 2 controls that control pages and header information separately.]
