Layout question: Is it possible to set page margins per section?
Is there a Section property that governs page margins ... like the Format>Page Settings, but impacting only a specific Section rather than the entire document?
I'm creating a score with seven Sections and for best readability some Sections require unique page margins.
Thanks, scorster

You could export each section with its individually appropriate margins as a pdf and assemble the section pdfs into a single pdf with something like Pdfbinder.

Thanks. That would make sense.
I'm be sure to mention the Album feature in my request.

Came across this post and found the idea kind of cool. Not page margins, but like additional "hackable" +/- margins/padding seemed like an interesting idea to me for musical examples that could be more centered on page or left/right-aligned looking without needing to use horizontal frames for each system....
Figured I'd try it out for myself and got something like (sped up to keep below the filesize constraints of forum):
No error checking, so if there's too much compression, the elements will go beyond the minimal requirements and can have poor layout results, but it may be useful. Thanks for the idea! P.S. if this seems desirable, I could PR it against "3.7" for testing purposes, but it probably isn't super-acceptable.
