Different top/bottom page margins?
I have read this page in the handbook: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/page-settings, the respective paragraph copied below:
_________
"Page margins
The Even Page Margins and Odd Page Margins settings allow you to define the printable area of your pages. Aside from changing the margins around the music on the page, other settings, such as the positions of headers and footers, are calculated relative to the margins defined here.
If the "Two sided" checkbox under "Page Size" is selected, you can set margins differently for mirroring odd and even pages. Otherwise, only one set of margins can be modified, but will apply to all pages."

Have I read it correctly that I cannot have different top page margins for different pages, regardless of whether the pages are odd or even?
For example, can I have page 2's top margin different for page 4's (both even page numbers) or different top page numbers for page 1vs. page 3 (both odd pages)?
Thank you.

Page margins are used to demarcate the printable area of the score sheet. Odd/even page margins can be set differently, if desired. Such might be the case when binding the sheets into a booklet, where margins on the bound side can be greater than margins on the opposite side. Such settings affect all odd/even pages.

If you wish more space at the top of a particular page (e.g. page #2), use a blank vertical frame to claim the space, rather than trying to change the top margin of sheet #2 to be different from sheet #4.

I have followed your direction, and it is a very useful feature I will use frequently in the future. Thank you very much, jm6stringer! Best wishes.
