Printing Difficulty

I'm trying to print this piano score.

#1. I can't figure out how to shrink the staffs/staves. I prefer a smaller print than the default Noteworthy format. (I still want the staffs to align and wrap, though)

#2. Parts of the song run off of the page! I would like all of the staffs/staves to be perfectly lined up and not continue off of the page, or not stretch far enough to meet with the previous staff (horizontally.)
32nd notes are being used every once in a while, but in huge streams of sequencing.

Also, if it's possible, can I make everything more bold?? Like thicken everything (or at least staves and notes)??


Thanks for your time!


PS: I'm aware that some of the chords are nearly impossible.

The line drqawing is a built in function of NWC and is not adjustable by users.  If you want other things bolder you might consider my alternative NWC2 system font: "NWC2HiVisLP.ttf" available via the Scripto http://nwc-scriptorium.org/helpful.html#Fonts

For piano music, 18pt or 16pt is a good choice for a staff size. Anything larger would be suitable only for a much simpler piece. 14pt is usable for pieces with few accidentals. Anything smaller would be suitable only as a study score. The default piano template size of 26pt is nutty and should be changed.
