Hi,
This is a pretty important function to have. Most music editors and scribes have invested many many hours aligning blocks of rests with page turns when able to do so to make pieces as playable as possible which is all undone when page 1 appears on the left. It is still important with quicker digital page turns as players will be scanning a number of bars ahead of play.
PDF versions of pieces do not always retain the key deliberately blank page meaning the first page in the file would have been page 2 in hard copy form and therefore on the left side. Some PDF readers have an 'odd pages left/right' toggle in dual page view. This setting combined with two-page turns should help here.
The preferences here will likely be different for each file which could be complex. Is it easier to add a function to insert a strategic blank page (or copy of another non-blank page for readability) at the start of the file, or another chosen point to fix these issues?
