The default behavior of the memoir
package is to change the headings immediately upon sectioning. This is counterintuitive to me, as I think the headings are to remind the reader of the section they are currently reading. This is not necessary when a new section begins, as the section header does that for them. The reader still needs a reminder as to which section they are finishing rather than which they are starting.
How can I change that behavior so the headers are updated on the next page after a section command, rather than the actual page of the section command?
If you run the MWE I provide below, look at pages 2–4. I want the following headers:
page 2: the heading is as I want it
page 3: I want the heading to match that of page 2
page 4: the heading is as I want it
Can I do this within
memoir
?
