Title: Print Preview and editor differing from each other?
Post by: ejvl on 2007-12-22 02:13 PM
Dear,

I’ve write a song with many staffs.
If I edit the song, al is going fine, but if I want to see a print
preview, there is missing a part of staffes?

There is missing a couple of staffs, those staffs is visible in the editor, but not
in the printer or print preview, I want to print the hole song, how can I
do that?

In advance thanks

I confirm this is (and always has been) a concern to me.  Using the default staff metrics, only the first 10 visible staffs will print, so you cannot print a full score.  However, if you adjust the staff metrics or change the paper size and page layout, assuming your printer will accommodate bigger paper, you can get more staffs to show in print preview and to print. 

I sometimes think it would be nice if the bottom staffs would print on another page, but that wouldn't be of much use in a score, unless you used a lot of scotch tape.

I'd like to be able to see the nonprinting staffs in the preview screen if for nothing else than being an aid to editing.
