Moving Page Numbers?

Hi, so I have figured out to use the "mirror" setting to get page numbers to appear on the left side for pages on the left and on the right side for pages on the right. But so far these seem to be mostly useless because Noteworthy wants to put the page numbers far too low and close to the music to look like "real" page numbers. Is there any way to raise the numbers further away from the score and closer to the corners of the page without changing how the music itself is aligned on the page?

Not as such, but you might consider reducing the top margin (Page Set up / Margins) and then increasing the Upper boundary of the first staff on the page (Staff Properties / Visual) so that the systems are placed at the same vertical position they were before you reduced the top margin.

Yes, that "sort of" works. But it would seem then that now one ends up with greater space between all the grand staves doing that?

Finer control is via the Boundary Change Command

Yes, but that's why I added :

Or you can use the finer control such as Rick suggests.
