Page.txt in two pieces

Good morning,
this is the problem I'm proposing.
Is it possible to split text inserted with Page.Txt into two parts after the last line? "Split" means one part on the left and one on the right. In the attached example, the second part of the text, the one on the right, was created with Xtext.hmm. The two parts were paired as precisely as possible after many attempts.
My transcriptions always include text, and I transfer it to the nwc file. When the text is very long, as in the example, I have great difficulty inserting it so it's displayed.
At this point, another subsequent question: Is it possible to create a blank page (without a staff) after the last line?
Thanks.
Lorenzo

Good morning Lawroc,

How about the attachment below, is that what you expect?
I created a second PageTxt with another X offset and filled it with the text from the Xtext object, which I removed (it was hard to find).
Then, in order to get two columns with equal length, I moved some lines from the end of the first to the start of the second, replaced '|' and inserted some extra'%br%' in the second column.

(No idea regarding your second question)

Have a nice day,
Gust

Thanks, Grandpa Agust,
the graphic result is perfect! I need to study your passages carefully and "metabolize" them.
The second question, posed in other words: at the end of a page (at the bottom of the page) is the last line of the score ("section close bar"). Can I add a subsequent page that's completely blank, that is, without any lines?

I will look into it.

After some trial, error and finally result: see the attachment.

How i succeeded:

1. Added a bar at the end of each staff with a rest in the first one. This created a second page, but with three visible staves and the text columns from the first page repeated.

2.Copied the PageTxt object to the second staff with Visibility = 'Never'. This removed the text columns from the second page.

3. Added 'Start Collapsible Section' objects in the last bar of the staves, to make them disappear. But apparently Nwc does always print one at least. So:

4. Added an empty staff with open ending bar and zero staff lines.

5. Unchecked all 'System Conections in Next Staff' checkboxes in the bass staff.

6. Unchecked page numbering in Page Setup.
Always look on the bright side of life!

Thank you very much. I was about to send an attachment to explain my question graphically. I'll attach it anyway and then I'll get to your process.
