Re: intentionally blank cover page ?

[B~M]

Hwaen, Jean, thanks so much for your kind efforts, both of which worked like a treat. 

I was somewhat embarrassed to post such a question, but am very grateful for the help. 

Regards Paul

Greetings Paul,

When I wish to affect a blank page, I use

\markup \null

So your first bookpart would look like this:

\bookpart {

\markup \null

\pageBreak

\header{}

{ MUSIC }

} %End first bookpart

I hope this helps!
