Re: first-page-number set to negative number

[Neil Thornock]

Whoops - well, I guess I'm not sure!  Thank you Mats for setting me straight on that point.

I do remember trying this before, though, and wanting to get rid of the negative numbers, so that the page numbers will start on page number 1 (not -2 or whatever).  But I can't find how to do that.  I'm using oddHeader and evenHeader markup for the page numbers at this point.  It seems I should be able to turn page numbers off until a certain page...

Any hints?

Thanks...

Are you sure? The following works well
\paper{
  first-page-number = -2
}
and prints page number -1 on the second page, for example.
