Hans \pagina seems to be synonymous with \page at least \page appears to have the same effect. I was hoping for [after={\page[bigpreference]}] but that does not appear to work. [after={\page[yes]}] does the same as \page. It seems to be just that the preference does not do anything.
I was also hoping for [split=repeat] but that stops [after=\pagina] from doing anything. Thanks again -- Nigel
