I break the rules. After I fit the horizontal, I make sure both cams of the vertical cylinder are rotated 135 degrees CCW from the marks, then I rotate the engine 270, taking the vertical to TDC (valves being shut), which brings the drive pulley round 135 degs also, then I fit the vertical belt loosely (and without drawing blood fighting the springs). l then gingerly rotate the engine back and double check that all the marks line up, then take it round another 270 and tension the belt properly. It would've been helpful if Ducati had put a H and a V on each pulley, 135 degrees apart, instead of 1 mark

As long as you know what you are doing that system will work perfectly, but as we know not all owners know what they are doing
