[Framers] Thumb Tabs

The template file I use for all the chapter in a book has a number of master pages, not just left and right (as John says), you can have a number and call them different names.
Then you decide which Master page you want to use for a specific chapter, or even page
We have one for the front page and one for left and right
But If I have a long title, then we have a different master page
Then a stand alone doc, that is not part of a chaptered book, may be set up slightly differently, but they are all part of the same Template file that we apply to all of the chapters in a book

And a cover page, and a TOC page,and a Front Matter page, and a horizontal layout page if you are inclined
Can't you have a mater page for each of the side tabs, then have FM select the MP automatically based on a paragraph style you can apply to the section?
I haven't been following this thread much, so if what I'm saying doesn't make sense, I'm getting used to it.

Then I'm missing something in the discussion: I'm not creating additional master page sets. By default, a FM file has a "Left" and a "Right" master page... which I am using. I'm simply copying the relevant background object group from the side tab master FM file and pasting it onto the "Right"
master page for that chapter FM file. I'm not changing anything else.
The side tab master file is where I set sizing and positioning for all of the tab groups relevant to one another, and then simply utilize as needed throughout the "real" chapter files... For the chapter 1 FM file, the tab 1 group of objects for the side tab get copied, for the chapter 2 FM file, the tab 2 group, etc. Since copy and paste work on exact position, it's a very simple process.
I'm hard pressed to understand how not putting the tab objects on the master pages would make this process easier.

No, but it makes your life easier. Even if you have 10 or more different master pages, wouldn't it be easier to have on MP and just define which page to use?
The only time I could picture multiple MP sets is one for each client or document type (Release note vs instructions_

"That seems wrong to me. Master pages should not vary from chapter to chapter."
Since when? As long as the page dimensions and main text flow frames are identical, master page ancillary content can most certainly vary by chapter. You are not limited to using a single master page set for an entire book.
