Therefore, the behaviour of the first page will be different of the second, etc. Further, one have to imagine a first recto (odd) page blank, followed by an even page (even, left page) with a double columns (greek-latin text) and the next third page (odd one) with commentaries. Then, one have to define the layout, because the number of lines of the greek-latin text on left page has to fit with the commentaries on the right page (and because it is not the same layout). Moreover, one can imagine for the moment a printed odd page (on left page) and a blank one (on the right page).

indeed .. meant for magazine like typesetting or other special purposes 
(often a mix between automatic and handcrafted)
