Here's a sample page from my Davo Sweden. Some Scandinavian collectors like to collect booklet stamps in pairs, showing the opposite straight edges. This is a collecting area that is ignored by most US manufacturers, but can be found in some European albums. Davo puts these pairs on a page with other setenant multiples/panes as shown below.
Davo uses clear top-loading mounts, even for multiples and souvenir sheets or booklet panes (I consider that a plus). Davo does use split-back mounts or other for items that are larger than half-page (see later post for example).
Davo will have spaces for the singles from the setenants on the album page together with the other stamps which were only issued as singles. Here's the singles page to match the 1974 Skepptuna Church quilt miniature pane shown above:
This is great for collectors of used stamps (they have spaces for used singles and intact used setenants). But if you are collecting mint, you will need to tear off mint singles, to prevent unsightly empty spots scattered throughout the pages for modern stamps. Considering that most people who buy hingeless albums are getting it for their mint stamps... this type of page arrangement is not ideal unless you are building up a used stamp collection. This is opposite the problem with Steiner pages -- which have spaces for the panes, but no separate spaces for the singles from the setenant panes.
Lighthouse/Lindner, if they cover booklet pairs, will put the pairs on the same page as the singles. They will only have a separate place for singles if the single is not in the same format (e.g., if booklet pair, then space for single for the sheet format stamp). If you don't have the booklet pair attached, then you simply stick in the correct singles until you get the attached pair. If you look at the top of the first album page in this post, you will see that's exactly what I did for the 75o slate green King Carl XVI Gustav booklet stamps.
