Re: first-page-number (possible bug here?)

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

Could a possible work-around be a math expression like ( +
page:page-number-string ( - myStartPage 1 ) ) this way as long as I know
lilypond always starts with 1 I can always add my starting page offset
value?  (I'm not enough of a programmer to actually code this kind of
work-around, but it's an idea if this does turn out to be a bug.)
