ah! ok.

then no, scribus has no dynamic placing of the frames.

the ony "naive" approach i would see is to insert two pages...

what would be a little bit more complicated --  but it may also be
exactly what you need -- is to write a small script which takes the
frame currently selected, and works on an a range of pages by selecting
all the text frames on the same layer and with the same size, and
places them at the same coordinates but takes account the
difference between the inner and outer margin...

i guess it's easyer to implement it, than to explain how it should work.

... i may try to do it... but not now! :-)
