one thing i never figured out since i never did it was how musicians turn the page on sheet music, or if it's designed to just take up to pages

Musicians are generally reading on measure ahead of what they are playing. I know that sounds odd but it's true.
Also certain companies do a fantasic job of find the page breaks. Urtext is one of them...with the addition that the pages are matted and not pure white...as well as the fact that the books are designed to stay open, so you are not wrestling with keeping the pages in place. Urtext are one of the greats in that regard.

In other cases, you can have a page flipper as it were.

I could post two videos that have fantastic page flippers, for the music of Bach, both great songs but one is an absolute juggernauts. ((Almost a culmination of a life's work of arguably the greatest composer to exist))

The other basically invented classical piano playing...before the piano was even invented, as we know it. You can actually see the emotion in the young woman's faces as they follow the music. The one playing the music sometimes gives a nod to the page flippers, there is a communication there.
