I design a 56-page publication. Every issue has 40 BW pages & 16 color pages (2 signatures which land on 1-2, 4, 13, 16, 25, 27-30, 32, 41, 44, 53, 55-56). So I set those up with a color master page.
The problem occurs when I need to rearrange pages in the document: The master page elements move with everything else, of course, frequently creating chaos out my color-BW sequence.
Is there any way to lock the color master pages onto the page numbers where I need them? Or is my only choice to cut and paste whole pages, leaving the master items in place? Very tedious and doesn't necessarily prevent me from disturbing the sequence, since I usually customize the master elements on each color page, which unlocks them.
You get my firstborn if you have any other tricks or suggestions to help keep the sequence stabilized. 
Thanks in advance!
